Hello! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California, with a Master’s degree from Florida State University and seven years of experience. I specialize in supporting individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, acute and chronic illness, and major life transitions. My approach is compassionate, direct, and rooted in your strengths. I believe in open communication—if I have a question, I’ll ask it directly rather than make assumptions. In our work together, my goal is to equip you with practical coping strategies and support you in finding resilience and meaning, no matter what challenges you’re facing. Therapy with me is a space where honesty, growth, and empowerment go hand in hand.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During our first session together, clients can anticipate a warm and welcoming environment aimed at fostering trust and rapport. I will begin by introducing myself and explaining the therapeutic process, including confidentiality and your rights as a client. I will encourage you to share your reasons for seeking therapy, your goals, and any pertinent background information. You can expect me to ask questions to gain a deeper understanding of your concerns, emotions, and experiences. Together, we'll work collaboratively to establish a treatment plan tailored to your needs and discuss what to expect in future sessions. I will prioritize creating a safe space where you will feel heard, validated, and supported.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As a provider, my greatest strengths lie in my ability to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel genuinely seen and supported. I bring a balanced approach that is both direct and empathetic, allowing me to ask the hard questions while maintaining compassion and respect for each person’s unique journey. My background in medical social work has equipped me to handle complex, high-stress situations with calm and clarity, while my clinical expertise helps me guide clients through challenges such as depression, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. I’m deeply attuned to the strengths that clients already possess, and I focus on helping them harness those strengths to foster resilience, insight, and lasting change. Above all, I am committed to being an active, collaborative partner in the therapeutic process, always centering the client’s goals and values.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I’m best positioned to support individuals who are feeling overwhelmed by life transitions, grief, coping with chronic or acute medical conditions, or experiencing symptoms of depression or anxiety. Many of my clients are navigating high-stress environments—whether that's managing caregiving responsibilities, adjusting to a new diagnosis, or balancing personal and professional demands—and are looking for a therapist who can offer both empathy and practical tools.
