I am a Clinical Social Worker in private practice, licensed in both California and New York. I am on the Board of Group Psychotherapy Association of Los Angeles (GPALA), where I serve as the Curriculum Chair, developing workshops and educational courses for clinicians looking to expand their knowledge of group therapy techniques and modalities. My private practice consists of individuals struggling with general mental health issues, including Anxiety, Depression, Grief, and Work/Family Stress. Other areas of focus include Adult Survivors of Childhood Abuse, Trauma, and Neglect, Men New to Psychotherapy, and assisting clients utilizing psychedelics in their treatment. 

Prior to my work as a psychotherapist, I taught elementary school in Compton, California. My current work is informed through my experience developing and facilitating programs in several settings, including in a forensic psychiatric hospital, in-patient psychiatric hospitals, partial-hospitalization programs, as well as child & family mental health settings. I have also held a position as an Oncology Social Worker in a cancer center in New York where I created the center’s support and wellness program for patients and caregivers.

My well-rounded approach is rooted in aspects of Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Attachment Theory, and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy. I enjoy working with first time therapy seekers and my vision is to identify and break down barriers making psychotherapy more accessible and inclusive to individuals of all backgrounds and abilities.
