(she/her)
Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California. I received my Master’s in Clinical Social Work from the University of Southern California. I also have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Cal State University Northridge. I have a extensive history with over 15 years of experience working with adults 18 and over with various mental health diagnoses. I like to create a safe and supportive environment for my clients to have a place to express their thoughts and feelings.
In the first session, I will learn more about the client’s psychiatric history, what the presenting problem is and what goals they would like to accomplish in therapy . I am nonjudgmental and like to develop quick rapport with my clients.
I am a seasoned mental health psychotherapist with over 15 years of experience in this field . My biggest strengths include being a good listener, empathetic and nonjudgmental.
I work with adults over the age of 18 who present with various mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders, life transitions, women's issues and Postpartum depression. I will make sure to create a safe, supportive environment for the client to express thoughts and feelings and receive positive support and feedback. My ideal client is motivated to explore their personal growth, open to reflection and interested in learning different therapeutic modalities.

Eclectic
I have been using an Eclectic approach to therapy for many years. I use strategies and interventions from different modalities to fit each client’s own unique needs. It is a flexible approach to therapy that helps me address each client's wants and needs to help them have a more positive outlook in life.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral to help individuals identify and replace negative thoughts and behaviors that impact their emotional health. All our thoughts and behaviors are connected and by changing negative thoughts we can change our behaviors.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Person centered approach focuses on creating a supportive, accepting and empathetic environment for clients to access their own inner resources for personal growth and development. I like to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space and help clients increase their self-awareness and facilitate personal growth through reflective listening and clarifying emotions and meanings.
