My life story started in Maryland where I was born. I used to be fascinated with lightening bugs that flitted around at night, giving light wherever they flew. For me, that is symbolic of my belief that people should "brighten the corner where you are."

For a long time, I've realized that I am not capable of accomplishing world peace, but I could be a light in my small part of the world. I am sympathetic to others who are suffering, and I believe in giving dignity and respect to everyone and anyone. My deeply entrenched views translated in obtaining Bachelor of Arts degrees in Psychology and Sociology years ago from the University of California at Riverside and a Masters Degree in Social Work from California State University in San Bernardino.

Currently, I serve clients who deal with anger, anxiety, & depression, and I have been doing so for the past 11 years. Many times, clients have reported symptoms of depression since they were young children. I have experience treating teenagers and adults in both the inpatient and outpatient setting. I have worked with teenagers and adults within group homes, forensic hospital, and office. Also, I have friends who suffer with depression and anxiety. I understand the halting effects of the deep dark cloud of depression and the excessive worry about common issues in daily life with anxiety. I want to help. I will treat your depression and anxiety while I treat you with dignity and respect.
