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.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
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.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
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.
