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!
I use a compassion focused lens and utilize various therapeutic techniques tailored to your unique needs.
First session
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.
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.
Ideal clients
My practice derives from a compassion lens. I can help you if you are struggling with stress, anxiety, or self esteem.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use this approach in helping clients understand and change how their thoughts influence behaviors and emotions for the overall purpose of improving quality of life.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I teach and implement mindfulness techniques such as meditation, reflection, and relaxation exercises to focus on the present moment.
