I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California that provides therapy services through tele-health, holding a Master's degree from Western New Mexico University. I offer over four years of expertise in supporting adults to build self-assurance and effectively manage anxiety that may occur in work settings, relationships/marriages, and during life transitions such as a recent move or job loss.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, my priority is to understand what brings you to therapy and to work with you to identify the specific goals you want to achieve.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths include my capacity for deep and active listening, allowing me to truly understand my clients' perspectives.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I find great satisfaction in supporting adults with improving confidence, making significant life transitions, or improving communication within new relationships and marriages. My aim is to empower you with the tools necessary to create meaningful change in these aspects of your life.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I collaborate with my clients by focusing on their strengths and what's already working. While I bring my professional insight, I prioritize their active participation and value their unique perspective. My core belief is that the client is the true expert in their own experience. My approach is prioritizing working towards goals that are both obtainable and realistic, as this process is essential for building confidence and creating a lasting foundation for future success.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
My CBT approach involves helping clients gain insight into negative thinking and equipping them with a range of techniques to enhance their self-talk and modify unhelpful behaviors.
