I am an LCSW, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and Certified Grief Professional. I have experience providing services in correctional facilities and understand the toll that constant vigilance and repeated exposure to crisis situations can take over time. I have worked with individuals in high-stress, high-stakes roles who are routinely experiencing trauma, loss, and cumulative stress. I earned my MSW from the University of Southern California in 2014. My approach to therapy is direct, grounded, and authentic. I focus on creating a space where you don't have to explain the basics, soften the truth, or carry everything on your own, while we work collaboratively toward making sense of what you've lived through and how you can continue moving forward without losing yourself.
