Hi! I'm a California-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Diplomate of the Academy of Cognitive Behavioral Therapies. I received my Masters from the University of Southern California and have been practicing for 13 years. I help teens and young adults overcome depression, anxiety, and life transitions. My goal is to inspire my clients to become the best version of themselves by identifying the root causes of their issues and helping them work through them.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I understand that reaching out for help can be a difficult and vulnerable experience, and I want to assure you that I am here to support you every step of the way. During our first session, we will begin by getting to know each other. As we delve into the challenges you are facing, I want you to know that I will be listening with empathy and an open mind. My goal is to gain a deep understanding of your unique situation and help you develop a customized plan that meets your specific needs and goals. Together, we will explore the underlying causes of your challenges and identify any patterns or behaviors that may be holding you back. By the end of our session, I hope you will feel heard, validated, and empowered to take the necessary steps to move forward. Remember, you are not alone in this journey, and I am here to support you every step of the way.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I understand that navigating through the challenges of teenage and young adult life can be overwhelming and stressful. That's why I have dedicated myself to helping you overcome any obstacles that may be holding you back. With my 13 years of experience, I have developed a compassionate and supportive approach that puts your well-being at the forefront. I am here to guide you through the process of identifying the root cause of your challenges and creating a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress. You don't have to face your struggles alone, and I am committed to being there for you every step of the way. Together, we can work towards achieving your goals and ensuring your success.
