I have worked in the field of  behavioral health since 1994. I began my journey as a Licensed Clinical  Social Worker by working as a drug and alcohol rehabilitation  counselor.  I expanded my counseling skills while working for the  University of California San Francisco for seven years as a HIV Case  Manager.  My work as a drug counselor and HIV Case Manger afforded me  the opportunity to gain experience in supporting clients who are  struggling with addictions, grief, health challenges, sexual  orientation, depression, personal distress,relationship  issues, family issues and the challenges of adolescence. Before starting my full-time practice, I worked as a Dialysis Medical Social Worker, I gained experience  by supporting individuals whose lives are impacted by chronic illness  and depression.
