I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California with over 40 years of professional experience, including a 28-year career with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and four years as a medical social worker in a hospital setting. As an African American and Biracial therapist, I bring a unique perspective and understanding to my practice, appreciating the importance of culture and identity in shaping our experiences.
My extensive background has given me the privilege of helping individuals navigate challenges such as stress, anxiety, family conflicts, grief, loss, and depression. I am committed to providing a safe, respectful, and compassionate space where you can feel heard and supported. My approach is personalized, tailoring our conversations and treatment plans to suit your unique needs and goals.
I firmly believe that therapy is a powerful tool to guide us through life’s transitions and challenges, empowering you to build resilience and find clarity. If you’re ready to take the next step in your journey, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Let’s work together to create meaningful change in your life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
