About Me

I work with adults affected by symptoms of anxiety, depression, and PTSD, often stemming from childhood experiences such as emotional neglect, abuse, and loss. Before opening a private practice, I worked with individuals in community mental health centers, psychiatric hospitals, and hospices, as well as veterans suffering from PTSD and trauma-related disorders. I have extensive experience in trauma recovery, and I am a psychotherapist with the California Victim Compensation Board program. As a holistic and integrative therapist, I specialize in EMDR, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Somatic Therapy. I earned my master’s degree in Social Work from California State University, Northridge, and I obtained a BA in Sociology.
