Focus Area: Clinical Social Work

Licensed in: California, Idaho, Oregon, Washington

My services are inclusive meaning I work with everyone and exclude nobody. Those who feel they cannot be themselves due to judgments or expectations of others are offered an empathic and understanding environment to explore what they really want in life. I meet you where you are and YOU decide the direction in which your life may lead. My hope is that you may live life joyfully while becoming the most authentic version of yourself.
