I am a clinical social worker in full time private practice for the past ten years. I primarily see clients across the span of their adult lives, and have seen adolescents in the past as well. Prior to working in private practice, I worked at a local VA hospital in the mental health clinic providing therapy to veterans and their family members. I was trained in EMDR in 2016 and have experience working with clients who have various forms of trauma related experiences.

I aim to incorporate a scientific understanding of EMDR principles into my training, while making it clinically relevant and easy for both patients and consultees to understand. One of the main reasons I wanted to become a consultant is because I hear so many therapists after basic training say that they’ve had limited opportunities to use EMDR. I remember that feeling well and I am passionate about increasing therapist comfort in using this powerful therapy, even in situations that might surprise you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor™ (RPT-S™) with over 15 years of clinical experience. Specializing in trauma-informed care, I work with children, adolescents, and adults to address trauma, depression, anxiety, anger, emotional regulation, grief, life transitions, adjustment disorders, and attachment challenges.
Born and raised in Southern California, I earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of California, Irvine, followed by a Master of Social Work from California State University, Los Angeles. With experience in community mental health, educationally related mental health services, and private practice, I currently serve as the Clinical Director at a group private practice.
Since 2019, I have been providing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy for adults, adolescents, and children. I have completed advanced training in the integration of play therapy and EMDR and also completed the EMDR Child Specialist Training Certificate Program. I have advanced training in treating trauma, neuropsychotherapy, interpersonal neurobiology, and the integration with EMDR. Additionally, I am a trained and certified Safe and Sound Protocol provider.
I am passionate about EMDR and the Adaptive Information Processing model, and I am dedicated to harnessing the nervous system’s innate capacity for healing. My approach combines clinical expertise with a deep commitment to empowering clients on their journey toward emotional well-being.
