My name is Pat and I am an experienced licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist and have helped hundreds of adults, children, couples, and families over the years through the therapy process.

I have a BA degree in Psychology from Occidental College, a Master in Social Work degree from Cal State LA, and licensure LCSW from the Board of Behavioral Sciences, California.

This year 2022 I am finishing up a certificate of healthcare fellowship from UC Davis in Pain Management.  I look forward to helping you reduce your emotional or physical pain by also ensuring that you get the right referrals if you need a medical Pain Specialist MD for specialized procedures or surgery or any innovative therapies such as spinal cord stimulation (SCS) or deep brain stimulation (DBS).

Pain is not only physical, but it is mentalemotional and can co-exist together due to psych or medical conditions. My knowledge of psychiatric and pain medications is strong so I can help you address issues with your medical doctors.

I am able to see patients in any part of California through Telehealth Virtual Services. I am bilingual English-Spanish speaking and have served diverse ethnic populations over the years.
