Education & Experience

I am a licensed clinical social worker specializing in anxiety, depression, transitions, trauma, grief/loss and substance abuse. My passion has been growing since my first years in college for the helping profession. I have always been fascinated by the mind and body connection. After earning my bachelor in psychology from Cal State University Fullerton, I quickly started my master in social work at University of Southern California(USC). I have been trained in CBT, CPT, Motivational Interviewing, and EMDR. I have received other training and updates on various strategies along my career in my field. My work and training history includes but not limited to Child Abuse Prevention Center, Melinda Hoag Center for Healthy Living, College Hospital, Psychiatric Institute of Washington, and Laguna Treatment Hospital. My style is compassionate, non-judgmental, down-to-earth, flexible and organized. My approach is to meet you where you are at in the present moment and time.
