I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California and New Mexico. I obtained my Master's degree in Social Work from Tulane University in 2022. Before my move to Lake County, I served populations in New Orleans, Louisiana and Albuquerque, New Mexico.
I have worked extensively with children and families in clinical settings. I am passionate about encouraging children to express themselves through art and play. As someone with both personal and professional experience navigating chronic illness, I believe in the interdependence of physical and mental health. I am a huge proponent of spending time in nature and taking care of the body. I believe that everyone has the capacity to change their own mind and to tap into an innate wisdom about the self. Humility is an important value for me, so I try to always be learning.
I advocate for social justice in my community and believe in empowering and uplifting marginalized voices. My services are LGBTQIA+ affirming and Anti-racist.
