Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California. I received my Master’s in Clinical Social Work from the University of Southern California. I also have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Cal State University Northridge. I have a extensive history with over 15 years of experience working with adults 18 and over with various mental health diagnoses. I like to create a safe and supportive environment for my clients to have a place to express their thoughts and feelings.

Eclectic
I have been using an Eclectic approach to therapy for many years. I use strategies and interventions from different modalities to fit each client’s own unique needs. It is a flexible approach to therapy that helps me address each client's wants and needs to help them have a more positive outlook in life.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral to help individuals identify and replace negative thoughts and behaviors that impact their emotional health. All our thoughts and behaviors are connected and by changing negative thoughts we can change our behaviors.
