I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California. I have extensive background in serving older adults and their caregivers. More recently, I have been working closely with individuals with anxiety disorders (such as social anxiety, panic attacks, and obsessive compulsive behaviors) and depression. I have always enjoyed working with individuals on a one-on-one level to improve coping skills and their overall well-being.

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

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.

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

I have specialized experience treating anxiety disorders, such as social anxiety, obsessive and compulsive behaviors and panic attacks. In addition, I also specialize in working with the geriatric population, family caregivers, end-of-life and the grief process. My approach is person centered, trauma-informed and strength-based.

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

I enjoy working with those who are feeling anxious, depressed, or stressed due to life stressors or past trauma. I can help to process these events or simply providing a safe space to be heard without judgement. I also love working with older adults who may be experiencing grief and loss, loss of independence or caregiving issues.
