I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the State of California, where I was born, raised and educated. I have numerous years of experience working with children, teens and adults who are struggling with challenges in their lives. I excel at helping client's recognize their self worth and strengths by providing a supportive and strength based practice with a bit of humor. I have worked with clients navigating divorce, child welfare system, adoptions, divorce/child custody, educational issues, anxiety, mild depression and relationship issues.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

When I meet with a client for the first time, I like to prepare them for the session by being open, honest and transparent. I feel open communication is the best way to minimize anxiety and begin a trusting working relationship. I let them know that this first session is about gathering information so that we can identify goals and relevant factors that may be impacting the client and any safety factors that may be present.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strengths is that I am able to provide a safe and non-judgemental space where clients can vent, share, laugh, cry and question in a supportive environment. Together we will work on sustainable goals and ways to accompish those goals.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I enjoy connecting with individuals and helping them learn how strong they can be to overcome and learn from any obstacles or challenges they encounter, and helping them learn how their perception can make life changing improvements. I love people who have a sense of humor and are willing to challenge themselves to become a better version of themselves.
