“I’m glad you’re here.”
Welcome to The Healing Promise. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to supporting individuals on their journey toward healing, growth, and resilience.
I created this practice because I believe healing is possible when you have the right space, support, and a willingness to do the work.
I began my career serving diverse communities across Los Angeles County, working in community mental health centers, the Department of Mental Health, specialized treatment programs, and training and technical assistance for organizations that serve survivors of violent crimes.
Through these roles, I gained extensive experience in trauma recovery, substance use treatment, crisis intervention, and supporting individuals facing life’s most complex challenges.
With over a decade of experience in the mental health field, I specialize in providing individual therapy for adults (18+), group therapy, clinical supervision for emerging clinicians, and consultation and training services for organizations.
Over a decade of experience in mental health.
Compassionate, culturally responsive, and client-centered care
Specialized in trauma-informed therapy and healing-centered support
My work is client-centered, trauma-informed, collaborative, and culturally responsive.
That means therapy with me is not one-size-fits-all. We will work together to understand your experiences, identify patterns that may
be keeping you stuck, and create space for healing that feels meaningful to you.
“I believe healing begins with safety, trust, and compassion.”
You may not feel strong right now. You may not feel clear. You may not even know where to begin.
That’s okay.
My role as a therapist is not to “fix,” but to partner with you in uncovering your own inner capacity for healing, growth, and change.
If you are ready to take the next step toward your healing journey, I would be honored to support you.
