I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker & Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in California, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas, and Colorado, and hold a Doctorate degree in Social Work. I also mentor associate level therapist and students, because the future of mental health matters.
My approach? Direct, to the point, and focused on change. This isn’t easy work. But if you’re ready to put in the effort, I’m here for it.
Therapy is not about making you feel better for an hour. It’s about teaching you how to navigate life differently so you don’t need me forever.
