Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I received my Masters from the University of Southern California and have been practicing for over 10 years. I help adults struggling with stress and mental health issues become the best versions of themselves.

I have over 10 years experience working as a therapist with clients from a variety of backgrounds and ages.

I am passionate about meeting people where they are at and helping them feel better and reach their goals.

First session

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Strengths

I have over 10 years experience working as a therapist with clients from a variety of backgrounds and ages. I strive to be a safe space where clients can be comfortable being themselves without worrying about being judged. I enjoy giving people practical tools they can use right away to help ease their suffering and reach their goals.

Ideal clients

I love working with adults seeking to enhance coping skills and learn to manage negative thinking that disrupts their mood and daily life.

Treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have over 11 years experience using CBT to treat anxiety, depression, stress among other issues. I use it to help people regulate their emotions and adjust negative core beliefs.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

I have over 11 years of experience using mindfulness based therapy to help people alleviate their suffering, live in the present moment, and manage emotional distress.

Positive Psychology

I have over 11 years experience using positive psychology to help people enhance their self esteem and improve their mood.

Did not make me feel very comfortable. I felt she was disinterested from the start. 😕
