I have been in the healthcare industry for the last 22 years. I am currently working as a Bilingual Social Worker for United Healthcare/Optum where my main concentration is helping the aging population as well as disabled adults in stabilizing their psychosocial needs while coordinating their medical needs, providing counseling both telephonically and at the home, and in optimizing their overall wellbeing. I gained my clinical hours at Family Service Association where I worked with children, adolescents, adults and the aging population using a variety of theoretical perspectives. I have a special interest in depressive and anxiety disorders.
I earned my Bachelors and Masters Degrees from California Baptist University, Riverside. My Bachelors degree is in Psychology and my Masters degree is in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis on Marriage and Family Therapy.
I am a newly licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and am excited about what the future holds. I thrive on new challenges and helping those in need. I am currently working on building my private practice to include all ages while still working as a Social Worker.
