MY STORY

Hi there! I'm so glad you're here! Let me tell you a bit about me...

​

I started my professional career in health and fitness where I managed a big brand gym for about five years. I fell in love with fitness and even became a certified personal trainer and group fitness instructor. I continue to have a love for exercise because it just makes me feel good inside and out. 

​

I decided to pursue a career as a therapist after choosing to get sober in 2012. My life fell apart, but with the help of friends, family and professionals, I got better. I was humbled and inspired by those that cared for me, and decided, "Hey, I want to do that!"

​

I went back to school and earned a Master's Degree in Social Work. I also obtained a certificate from UCLA Extension in Substance Abuse Counseling. Since then, I've worked with children and families, severely mentally ill people, LGBTQ+ youth and adults, and those dealing with grief and substance use.
