As a client-centered therapist, I aim to help individuals reach their full potential by establishing a supportive relationship through active listening, acceptance, and understanding. I assist clients in recognizing their strengths and using them to set goals, gain insights, and develop new coping strategies to bring about positive changes. As a Licensed Therapist, I am committed to maintaining the highest ethical and professional standards and contributing to advancing the social work profession. With over 25 years of experience in social work, I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) fluent in two languages/cultures. I have provided counseling and therapy to individuals, couples, families, and groups using evidence-based and culturally sensitive approaches. I also offer online telehealth services.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Managing distress without losing control or acting out is essential. Many people struggle with overwhelming emotions, which can amplify their feelings to the limit. I work with clients to help them improve their Interpersonal Effectiveness, Emotional Regulation, and Distress Tolerance. This therapeutic method focuses on assisting people in accepting the reality of their lives and behaviors and learning to change them, including unhelpful behaviors.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
"If you change your thoughts, you can change your life." I have used Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which can help you change unhelpful or unhealthy ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving. I have used this therapy for many years, proving it very effective because it is designed to improve your quality of life immediately. CBT can be an effective way to treat depression and anxiety."
Couples Counseling
Couples counseling, also known as relationship counseling, is a form of talk therapy that aims to help couples identify and change negative behaviors to improve their relationship. This type of therapy is designed to assist both partners in gaining a better understanding of any negative patterns within their relationship. I have extensive experience working with couples, providing support in relationship building, developing active listening skills, identifying couple strengths, resolving conflicts, facilitating fair discussions of issues, and promoting relationship growth. Over the years, I have helped numerous couples enhance their relationships and grow closer together.
On average, Blue Cross Blue Shield clients pay $0-$30
