Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California. I received my Masters degree in Social Work and have been practicing for 6 years. I'm a therapist specializing in helping people manage anxiety, cope with grief, work stress, adoption, etc. I teach practical coping skills and use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients challenge negative thought patterns, reduce anxiety and process their grief in a healthy way.
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.
My greatest strengths lie in my ability to create a safe and empathetic space where clients feel heard and supported. I excel at breaking down complex emotions into manageable parts, helping clients understand and reframe their thought patterns. My focus on teaching practical coping skills and my commitment to evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy allow me to equip clients with the tools they need to overcome challenges.
I have several years of experience utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to treat a variety of conditions including depression, anxiety, phobias, etc. I apply CBT through structured sessions where specific goals are set collaboratively to empower the individual to become aware and challenge negative thought processes.
