Hi there! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based out of Santa Cruz, California. I'm passionate about helping folks improve their mental health and well-being so that they can live better lives. My background is in social work and counseling support for older adults and their families who were facing the many challenges of aging and serious illness. This has informed my current work - supporting all adults 18 and older, both Virtually and In-Person, who are struggling with a variety of difficult issues, including anxiety, depression, grief, coping, and life transitions. I believe that we all have the power to improve our lives at any age!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, after a brief introduction and reviewing consents, we'll dive into what your goals and expectations are for therapy, as well as some of your history and current landscape. As this is our first time meeting, I'll be trying to get a sense of you, and you of me, so that we can decide if we'd like to work together. If this is a good match for both of us, we can schedule more sessions. If not, we can work to clarify what you might be looking for and I can help point you in a better direction. Once we commit to working together, I'll spend a few sessions getting to know you, and we'll start to talk about specific issues that you'd like to work on. I believe that the best work happens with some time and trust built between therapist and client - if you are hoping for an overnight fix, I'm probably not a match for you. However, if you are willing to look within, be vulnerable, and try some new things, you can expect our work together to support you in lasting change for the better.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have been told that I have a calming presence, and people feel at ease in opening up to me. Truth is, I love to hear peoples stories and listen deeply with genuine interest. I am naturally collaborative, open-minded, creative, non-judgemental, and honest with my feedback, and many clients appreciate these qualities in me. I've been studying hard in The School of Life and have amassed enough wisdom to be able to appreciate and hold, non-judgmentally, the stories and challenges of people of all ages and all backgrounds with care. I love people and this wild life, and this work is my way of giving back. If we lift one person up, we lift us all up!
