Welcome
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of experience in private practice. I received my undergraduate degree from The University of California at Santa Barbara, and my masters degree in Clinical Social Work from the University of Southern California.
I specialize in working with couples, and with people who struggle with substance abuse.
I will work with you openly and actively to enrich your relationships, and help you see the blind spots that have prevented you from attaining your full life goals and potential.
