My Story

Serving Patients Since 2000

From a young age, I knew I wanted a career that would make a meaningful difference in people's lives. This passion led me to pursue a degree in Psychology and eventually become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, serving the greater San Francisco Bay Area and Central Valley. Dedicated to my patients' well-being, I approach each individual with empathy, care, and a commitment to addressing their unique needs.

Since 2000, I have worked with a diverse range of clients across various settings, including state hospitals, jails, private practice, victims of violent crime, child protective services, and as President of a labor union. These experiences have equipped me to navigate complex challenges and advocate for those in need.
