Biography

I graduated with my Bachelors of Science in Psychology with Emphasis in Clinical and Behavioral Applications from California Lutheran University in 2004, and a Masters of Social Work with Emphasis in Direct Practice from University of Nevada, Las Vegas, in 2006.

The majority of my career has been spent working with children and families involved in the child welfare system. I continue to focus on clinical work with families, children, teens, and adults facing issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, ADHD, PTSD, and other stressful life events.

I am committed to helping my clients reach their full potential and develop positive coping skills to confidently meet life’s challenges.

I work collaboratively with clients by developing treatment goals together and creating a positive therapeutic environment.
