Learn MoreAbout Me
I am licensed mental health practitioner in California and Washington with over 40 years of professional work experience. I’m experienced in helping clients with stress, anxiety, depression, LGBTQ+ related issues, relationship issues, & family conflicts especially for people of color. I strongly believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming your challenges. My goal is to provide you clarity and assist you in utilizing your “natural toolbox” toward successfully addressing your challenges.
I work Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturday mornings from 9 AM – 1 PM. (As of March 2026, my only openings are on Thursday mornings.) If you anticipate my work days/hours don’t match your general availability, I encourage you to initiate a “request for therapist change” process by clicking the icon in the upper right corner of your account page and using the pull down menu.
Taking the first step to sign up for assistance takes courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
