Licensed Clinical Social Worker
LIC NO. 101797
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at Foresight. I received my Master’s Degree in Social Work with a concentration on Mental Health from the University of Southern California. I have experience working in Community-Based, Residential, Justice-System Impacted, and Outpatient Settings.
For the last 13 years, I continue to develop my skills in mental health support and counseling, crisis intervention, family counseling, recreational therapy, behavioral therapy, stress management, violence prevention, sexual health education, PTSD, trauma, gender-affirming needs, harm reduction, community building, advocacy, interpersonal skills, and more. I provide clinical mental health services that are both trauma-informed and strengths-based. In working with diverse clients, I have found that the use of an intersectional framework and cultural humility is essential as means of not only understanding my clients better but in developing interventions and treatment plans that will be helpful and meaningful to them. While working with individuals and families, I’ve seen that mental health support provides a space for individuals and families to heal and empower themselves. I seek to align with my clients and assist them on a therapeutic journey that can best fit their needs and to encourage the breakdown of barriers. In my role as a therapist and social worker I strive to identify internal and external systems of oppression and their impact on my clients and their communities in order to assist my clients in self-liberation. I accomplish this by building an authentic, self-aware, and caring relationship with all clients, as I know that healing and transformation often come through connection.
