About My Clients

I have worked extensively with veterans, veteran spouses and veteran couples. I also work with clients from all walks of life, including all gender expressions and sexual orientations.

My Background and Approach

I began my career helping homeless individuals and families and contributed to interdisciplinary community task forces to address homelessness in LA County. I have provided individual and group counseling to clients experiencing serious, moderate, and mild mental illnesses, as well as anxiety, depression, life transitions, job loss, trauma, and substance abuse issues. Coming from a military family planted the seed for my passion for helping veterans. I’ve worked in a variety of veteran service agencies, providing individual and group therapy, intensive case management, and suicide crisis intervention, and I created a women veterans program to help women heal from MST (Military Sexual Trauma).

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe we can all grow and progress and become better versions of ourselves. Therapy is about self discovery and understanding the reasons we think the way we do.
