New to Grow
Hello, and welcome. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides telehealth therapy for adults throughout California. I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, trauma, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and self-esteem concerns. My approach is warm, collaborative, and evidence-based, incorporating treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can gain insight, develop effective coping skills, and work toward meaningful and lasting change.
In our first session, we will focus on getting to know each other and understanding what brings you to therapy. I will ask questions about your current concerns, relevant history, and what you hope to gain from treatment. We will also begin identifying goals and discussing how we can work together in a way that feels comfortable and supportive for you. You are welcome to ask questions at any time, and the pace of the session will be guided by your comfort level.
My approach stands out because it is both evidence-based and highly individualized. I integrate structured, effective modalities such as CBT and EMDR while maintaining a flexible, client-centered style that adapts to each person’s unique needs, pace, and goals. I focus on creating a grounded, collaborative therapeutic relationship where clients feel safe, understood, and actively involved in their healing process. My work emphasizes practical skill-building alongside deeper emotional processing to support meaningful and lasting change.
I am best positioned to serve adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and difficulties with self-esteem. I work well with clients who are motivated to gain insight, develop effective coping strategies, process past experiences, and create meaningful changes that support greater emotional well-being, resilience, and personal growth. I believe every therapist-client relationship should have a good foundation of rapport as it is crucial for the treatment process.
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, stress, and life transitions. In my practice, I help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and develop practical coping skills to reduce distress, improve functioning, and achieve their treatment goals.
EMDR
I have experience using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy with adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, adverse life experiences, and distressing memories. In my practice, I use EMDR to help clients process unresolved experiences, reduce emotional distress, and develop more adaptive beliefs about themselves, allowing them to move toward improved emotional well-being and daily functioning.
