Passionate About Inspiring You

In the current state of COVID, I am providing Telemedicine for clients that have concerns in their lives that are appropriate for this modality of treatment.  Some issues may need a higher level of care, meaning face-to-face sessions and/or crisis management.  In these cases, Telemedicine does not provide the appropriate amount of care to serve and benefit the Client.  If you need a referral, I am happy to help you.

​

Since the stay at home orders have been placed, I am working from my home office providing Telemedicine.  When the environment is appropriate to return to the office and face-to-face sessions resume, I will be working from the Encino/Sherman Oaks area.  I will be updating as circumstances are updated.

Work History

​

I have had the opportunity to work at Counseling West, a community based agency providing psychotherapy to Individuals, Couples, and Families.  During this time, I was privileged to work with many diverse people from different backgrounds, socioeconomic status, age groups, religious beliefs, and sexual orientations.  It is imperative that all people who struggle with some aspect of their lives are able to receive the help they need and deserve.  We can not expect to have a strong community until all of the community can live with dignity.

​

I also have gained much of my experience working in a Family Preservation Program through Strength United and provided in-home counseling services for families contracted by the Department of Child & Family Services voluntarily or court mandated.  My work included the reunification of children back with parent/s, DV, abuse, co-occurring disorders, parenting classes, etc. as well as case management which had a profound impact on me.
