Clinical Consultation and Training
My passion for my work extends to helping other professionals in the field to find their own voice and talents within this very difficult work. I have acted as field liason for UCLA, USC and Cal State Long Beach, provided clinical supervision for master's and BA level staff, and have made it a personal and professional focus to support those around me.
As a person of color, I strongly believe in the importance of integrating the whole person, in context of their inter-secionalities and the social system, into one's clinical work. This involves creating space for personal reflection, empathy, insight and empowerment.
I direct the Westside Domestic Violence Network, which networks across the entire system of care including law enforcement, child welfare and mental health. Because of my role, I am familiar with a wide-array of systems and community resources. Often, I am able to connect other professionals with each other to benefit and strengthen the field.
Also, I have managed and worked in many different programs such as:
-
school settings
-
shelter-based programs
-
residential treatment
-
health care and hospital
-
outpatient mental health clinics
-
crisis response and drop in centers
-
diversion programs
-
substance abuse treatment
-
early childhood education
-
home visiting and field-based work

I currently offer training services to support professionals in the social service field as well as providing on-site consultation and capacity-building services. Through my work as the director of the Westside Domestic Violence Network, I have facilitated and conducted small skill-building workshops as well as large conferences.
I have taught full-semester and quarter courses for graduate-level social work students covering basic clinical skills, evidence-based models (e.g., CBT, solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing), family therapy, child mental health, attachment-theory, neurobiology and couples therapy.
I have a passion for the infinite process of learning, but not just learning, but the types of connections that occur and the deep fulfillment of learning through interactions and social connections.
I offer a free 45-minute consult in order to tailor the training to your particular needs. The list below is not exhaustive and I'm always open to exploring a new training topic.
