I’m licensed as a clinical social worker in California. I studied clinical social work at Sacramento State and psychology at Brigham Young University.

Most of my training and work has been with people that are experiencing effects of difficult and traumatic experiences, depression, and anxiety. I help my clients learn new ways to feel calm, find happiness, and reclaim their lives for themselves again.

I’m a therapist that likes to participate in the therapy process with you. If you need someone to listen, I will! But I’m also happy to meet you in the thick of it and help you figure it out. This generally looks like practicing curiosity about your experiences, asking questions, offering new perspectives, and giving direct feedback. Ultimately I value your autonomy and respect your judgment over your own life and choices. I want our work together to be collaborative and feel empowering for you.

You can expect to take away practical skills to address your problem, have ideas to think over, and that you will begin to understand yourself better.
