​I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of California and have advocated within spaces of social welfare & justice for the last 15 years. My work has included: non-profit & grassroots community development, social & legal service support, and inpatient & outpatient hospital-based & emergency care. I have learned and trained stateside and abroad, and believe in a cultural humble and attuned lens. I am passionate about building safety, trust and restoration within relationship and systems, and often support my clients in connecting to generations past, present and future. I am trained as a trauma therapist and utilize these skills to target a reduction in symptoms while exploring root causes of emotional pain and psychological distress that often manifest as physical tension and illness. I do this by supporting you in regaining and reclaiming a sense of empowerment and control within loss and harm, connecting you to a deeper sense of belonging and care. I am currently providing therapy to adults, teens and children ages 5+ in cultivating emotional wellness and healthy relationships. ​

​

My clients have described me as open, attuned and genuine; someone who can journey through uncomfortable emotions while having a good laugh with you.​​​

SomaWorks is rooted in the practice that connecting to the body—soma— is an essential pathway to healing, growth, and transformation.
