I am Licensed Clinical Social worker with 20+ years experience in California. I attended California State University, Sacramento for my Masters in Social Work and received my B.A in Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. I left Texas in 1990 and have been in California since then. I absolutely enjoy what I do and look forward to helping you manage challenges that you may be experiencing, Modern society can be overwhelming and finding a supportive voice can be the thing that is needed to get you through those uncomfortable and hard times. I help clients deal with stress and anxiety using the modalities of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness and Somatic Therapy. Stress lives in our nervous system, so a big part of my practice incorporates somatic breath work in addition to exploring how your thoughts influence your feelings and behavior. I also have experience working with self esteem and confidence issues. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. When I am not working I enjoy walking my dog in the park, practicing hot yoga and cooking.
