"The North Star is a symbol of guidance and direction for our future paths; especially as it related to achieving our goals, ambitions, or that which would be most beneficial for us to strive for. For generations, it has acted as a compass informing us of the direction needed to take. Following the North Star not only guides us, but also reveals further meaning about our paths in life. "


I am a licensed clinical social worker specializing in critical clinical services to children & adults. My clinical approach is collaborative, strength based & neurodiverse. The success of my practice has been created through serving persons impacted by traumas associated w/ educational, criminal justice, foster care, military & health systems. The cornerstone of my practice is addressing imbedded issues of loss, shame, vulnerability which impact a persons' ability to function day to day. Working in public schools, government agencies & CBO's as well as supervising interns on community based healing has informed my ability to effectively address the issues which impact the mental health of ALL despite race and class. Not everyone coming for therapy has a mental Illness or disorder. Some struggle with life stressors and transitions and only need to discuss their thoughts and feelings with a neutral third-party (professional) to find direction, answers, and the strengths that they already possess for emotional and even, psychological healing. I do not serve on the panels of managed care companies for the protection of my clients & the quality of treatment. I utilize a sliding scale, see a limited amount of clients on Medi-Cal and I offer a detailed & itemized monthly super bill that you can use for insurance reimbursement purposes.
