Since graduating from California State University of San Bernardino in 2003, I have been working as a dialysis social worker, with patients having chronic health issues, pain and rehabilitation. At the Regional Center with clients having developmental disabilities. Domestic Violence programs, groups for depression, grief, eating disorders, anger management and self harm. I am licensed in Florida, California and Hawaii and I am certified with the State of Florida and California to supervise MSW graduates for licensure. For the past 12 years I have worked as a Renal Social Worker with adults of all ages and their families, adjusting to dialysis, coping with life and work challenges, being as active and healthy as possible.
My current role with Total Life enables me to focus my passion to continue supporting older adults in living a full and joyful life.
About I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 18 years of experience focusing on client areas of concern including stress, anxiety, depression, isolation, disabilities and ongoing health concerns, life transitions and retirement, grief counseling, and individual and couples counseling. My experience also includes working with teens, adults, and seniors. In my sessions, I focus on using evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused therapy to help clients improve symptoms of depressed mood, anxiety/fear, insomnia, fatigue, negative thoughts/rumination, social isolation, and irritability. My counseling style centers on what is most important to you. I take time to understand your needs and concerns. In my spare time, I love to be in nature, at the beach, biking, swimming, painting, and photography. A favorite quote is, “A contented heart is a calm sea in the midst of all storms.” Anonymous.
