Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California. I received my bachelor's degree in psychology from University of California, Berkeley and my master's degree in social work from Cal State University, Long Beach. I help clients who are struggling with depression, anxiety, and stress. Through psychotherapy I collaborate with clients in changing thinking patterns to improve overall emotional state.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, we will begin by exploring the presenting concerns in detail. From this conversation, we will work together to establish clear therapeutic goals. The primary focus of our work will be to collaboratively enhance your emotional well-being while also supporting your journey toward greater stability and fulfillment.

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

My ability to connect and listen to clients while helping them find ways to improve their overall situation.

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

I enjoy working with young professionals who are having a difficult time managing the demands of work and personal life. My clients are very interested in learning about the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have been using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in my practice for the past seven years. We will use CBT to identify how your thoughts influence your feelings and behaviors. Gaining new insight into potentially distorted thoughts will reduce the frequency of negative emotions.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I have been using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in my private practice for the past four years. DBT has helped clients manage intense emotions, improve interpersonal relationships, and develop coping skills. DBT is effective at helping clients manage emotional dysregulation.

Motivational Interviewing

I have been using Motivational Interviewing (MI) for the past nine years. MI is useful in helping clients resolve ambivalence and strengthen their motivation to make positive changes in their behavior.
