I’m a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of clinical training and experience in the Bay Area. I enjoy helping people on a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety and stress, relationships, trauma, grief and loss, sexuality, gender identity and cultural issues. I remain committed to providing culturally sensitive services that take into account a person’s experiences in multiple communities and contexts.
