I have 30+ years of experience in the field of Social Work. Specifically, with folks who suffer from anxiety, depression and/or “racial and/or carceral trauma.” I hold multiple identities: of working class, BIPOC-female-presenting and a mother of a 10-year-old adopted child with special needs and a dog-mom.
My clients might suffer from depression and/or anxiety due to trauma they have experienced by being institutionalized (jail, hospital(s), foster care, etc.). My clients will be motivated to make change and may or may not be seeking therapy as part of a mandate and/or court order from criminal court, juvenile dependency, AND/OR Family Court(s) in the San Francisco Bay Area.
I am gender and LGBTQA+ affirming AND body-positive leaning.
I am very familiar with the unique challenges presented by an ADHD diagnosis. These challenges may include but not be limited to: Alcoholism, substance(s) (ab)use/co-occurring disorder, self-harm, medication referrals, etc.
I also work with clients,, who are approved for “pet companions,” which allows your pet to accompany you to public and private spaces . Pet companionship offers a way to navigate and manage anxiety.
