I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California. I have experience in helping individuals with Anxiety, Depression, Grief/Loss and Life Transitions. At the beginning of my career I worked closely with older adults and their families to navigate loss, grief, medical diagnosis, family issues and adjusting to new caregiving roles. More recently, I have been working closely with individuals with anxiety disorders (such as social anxiety, panic attacks, and obsessive compulsive behaviors) and depression. I have always enjoyed working with individuals on a one-on-one level to improve coping skills and their overall well-being.

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 the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

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

My greatest strength is my ability to listen to your needs and work collaboratively to meet your goals. My approach is person centered, trauma-informed and strength-based.

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

I enjoy working with those who are feeling anxious, depressed, or stressed due to life stressors or past trauma. I can help to process these events or simply providing a safe space to be heard without judgement. I also love working with older adults who may be experiencing grief and loss, loss of independence or caregiving issues.
