I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) working with clients California wide via telehealth. I work with adolescents and young adults while specializing in stress, life transitions, anxiety, and depression. I take a client-centered, collaborative approach to therapy, while tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals. I welcome you to reach out whenever you feel ready to begin. I’m here to provide a safe and supportive environment, where you can thrive and be yourself.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. You can expect a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment where you feel safe to share your emotions and concerns. Therapy is a process, and we’ll continue to build our work together over time. It is completely normal to feel nervous about your first appointment. We’ll take it one step at a time, and I’m here to guide you through each step of the process.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My approach to therapy varies based upon the needs of each client I work with, as every individual is unique. I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which is an evidence-based treatment that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. By helping you develop healthier thinking patterns and coping strategies, I aim to empower you to manage your mental health. Through personalized and structured sessions, I work collaboratively with my clients to assist them with achieving their goals and create lasting positive change for their lives. I also utilize Client-Centered Therapy, which is grounded in the belief that clients have the innate capacity for self-understanding and growth. I prioritize the unique needs and experience of each individual I encounter and create a supportive and non-judgmental environment. I provide active listening, support, and empathy while encouraging my clients to explore their thoughts and feelings openly. I will work closely with those in my care to assist them with identifying their strengths and help them work towards their personal goals.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
My client focus is typically individual sessions with children (10 years and older), adolescents, and young adults who are experiencing symptoms of trauma, anxiety, depression, and grief. I tailor sessions to meet the needs of each age group, ensuring that therapy is age-appropriate and effective.
