About me
Hello! I have served as a mental health therapist over the past 16 years. I earned my Doctorate of Social Work (DSW) from Tulane University. I have been a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in California for 11 years. I have worked with adolescents, men, and women struggling to cope with anxiety, depression, anger, gender-related issues, LGBTQIA-concerns, legal concerns, grief, and substance abuse concerns.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
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.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Having worked in the mental health field for the past 16 years, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create an individualized plan that leads to measurable progress.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I love working with adolescents, men, women, and families. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their careers.
