Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California. I love what I do and believe in the importance of a mental tune up to help get us to our normal baseline or better. I believe in the importance of client self-determination. I have been practicing therapy for the past 7 years. I look forward in meeting you!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into what brings you here. This will allow for me to create a tailored plan for us to work through in our future sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I see the importance of identifying the root cause, triggers, supports, and coping skills to address them. I use a compassion focused lens and utilize various therapeutic techniques tailored to your unique needs.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
My practice derives from a compassion lens. I can help you if you are struggling with stress, anxiety, or self esteem.
