s a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, I provide compassionate and specialized psychotherapy services in California and Rhode Island (LCSW / LICSW). My expertise includes addressing anxiety, depression, grief, relational challenges, major life transitions, adjusting to difficult health diagnoses, and trauma recovery. I understand that every person’s journey is unique. Whether you're navigating complex life transitions, relationship challenges, or personal struggles, I’m here to offer support and guidance. I prioritize building a collaborative partnership where we work together to nurture your self-esteem, resilience, and overall well-being.
Whether you're dealing with overwhelm, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can navigate and overcome and habits that have been holding you back from greater peace.
My primary goal is to assist you in understanding that sustainable, long-term change is not only achievable but also maintainable through intentional and consistent efforts. Developing the skill to recognize triggers for negative thoughts and beliefs empowers you to reclaim control over your life and imbue it with fresh meaning.
I am a United States Veteran who has experienced many deployments, making me highly attuned to the stressors of Military and Veteran life. I specialize in treating individuals who are struggling with the effects of past physical, emotional, or combat-related trauma. I am an EMDRIA trained Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapist who focuses on creating a nonjudgmental and supportive environment.
