I’m a licensed clinical social worker with 16 years of experience, practicing in California. With a background in medical social work, I’m dedicated to helping individuals find clarity and direction in life. I specialize in self-esteem struggles, anxiety, caregiver burnout, parenting and work stress, life transitions, health struggles and balancing boundaries. My goal is to create a compassionate, supportive space where you feel heard, motivated, and empowered, while developing practical tools to find balance and move confidently toward a more fulfilling, purposeful life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In your first session with me, you can expect a warm and welcoming atmosphere where you’ll feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings. We’ll start by getting to know each other, and I’ll invite you to share what brings you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. I’ll ask some questions about your background and experiences to understand you better, all while ensuring you feel heard and respected. By the end of our time together, we’ll outline potential next steps and how we can work together to address your challenges. My goal is to create a supportive space where you feel valued and empowered from the very start!

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Over the years, I’ve helped clients work through challenges like anxiety and stress using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). What I love about CBT is that it empowers you to understand how your thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected—and how shifting your thinking can help you break free from what’s holding you back. In our sessions, we’ll explore your thoughts with curiosity and compassion. Together, we’ll uncover unhelpful patterns like self-criticism or all-or-nothing thinking. Then, we’ll gently challenge those thoughts, finding new, balanced ways to approach them. It’s all about helping you discover a more peaceful, positive path forward with practical tools to navigate life’s challenges.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a technique I value because it helps you connect with your inner strength and wisdom. It’s perfect for those feeling stuck or unsure about making changes—whether you're facing a big decision, navigating a career shift, or wanting to adopt healthier habits. Creating a Safe Space: I’m here to listen without judgment, providing a supportive environment for you to explore your feelings and desires. Understanding Your Ambivalence: It’s normal to feel conflicted about change. Together, we’ll gently examine both sides of your feelings to help clarify your path forward.
