About Brighter Path Counseling and Coaching

My Background

With over two decades of experience in social work and mental health services, I bring both clinical expertise and compassionate care to my work with adult individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, PTSD, stress, and life transitions. I earned my Master of Social Work from California State University, Sacramento and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California (LCSW #75741).

My professional background includes extensive experience in both private practice and public child welfare systems. Since 2017, I have worked as a clinician in private practice, providing individual and group therapy using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based approaches. My work focuses on helping clients identify unhelpful patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and create meaningful cognitive and emotional shifts.

In addition to private practice, I have served in leadership roles within Napa and Solano County Child Welfare Services, where I managed multidisciplinary teams working with medically fragile, abused, and neglected children and families. This experience has strengthened my expertise in crisis intervention, trauma-informed care, family systems, and advocacy.

I have completed advanced training in trauma, child abuse, domestic violence, substance abuse, aging and long-term care, human sexuality, and California law and ethics. I also completed the Executive Development Program through University of California, Berkeley Extension.

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that healing happens through connection, insight, and empowerment. I strive to create a supportive space where clients feel safe to process their experiences, build resilience, and move toward lasting emotional wellness.

trauma changes us-healing can too.

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, trauma, or major life changes begin to impact your sense of balance and well-being. Therapy offers a safe, supportive space to heal, grow, and reconnect with yourself.

I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, PTSD, and life transitions. Together, we work to understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, develop healthier coping strategies, and create meaningful, lasting change.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your unique experiences. Whether you are processing past trauma, struggling with anxious thoughts, adjusting to a major life change, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself; therapy can help you build resilience, clarity, and confidence.

I believe healing happens when you feel seen, supported, and empowered. My goal is to provide a nonjudgmental environment where you can explore your experiences openly and move toward a more grounded and fulfilling life.

You do not have to navigate this alone. Personalized service tailored to your unique needs.
