Hello! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in both California and Arizona, and I’m here to help you navigate life’s challenges with warmth and compassion. My goal is to empower you on your personal journey as we work together to achieve your mental health goals using proven therapeutic methods. I believe in creating a safe and welcoming space where you can share your experiences and embark on a path of positive change.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions and review of session structure and expectations, then move into the specific challenges you're facing and what is bringing you to reach out for support. This will help me create a tailored plan to guide our work during follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My role is to work with you to identify what you can and cannot control, accept elements that you cannot change, identify your strengths and to use those to define your life moving forward. I have over 20 years of experience and an eclectic and integrative approach to provide practical and holistic solutions for you to live your best life. I believe that focusing on people’s strengths and how they perceive their experiences is the key to supporting each person to grow and make positive changes. I provide a safe, supportive, non-judgmental and nurturing environment for learning and growth and I have a warm and comforting style and approach that will help you work toward where you want to be.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with individuals during significant life transitions or change by facilitating the integration of loss and the recognition of growth. My approach focuses on helping clients navigate their experiences with compassion and evidence-based strategies. Together, we aim to recognize strength, foster resilience and promote positive change during these pivotal moments in their lives.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress and behavioral issues. CBT equips you with practical coping strategies and problem-solving skills, empowering you to manage anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges more effectively. By promoting self-awareness and fostering healthier thinking habits, CBT encourages personal growth and resilience in facing life's difficulties.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people promote psychological flexibility, allowing them to accept their thoughts and feelings without judgment while committing to values-based actions. This approach encourages mindfulness practices, helping individuals to stay present and engaged in their life experiences, even in the face of difficult emotions or challenges. By fostering a deeper connection to personal values and goals, ACT empowers individuals to live a more meaningful and fulfilling life, despite the obstacles they may encounter.
Grief Therapy
I use Grief therapy to help people process their emotions and navigate the complex feelings associated with loss, providing a safe space to express sorrow and pain. Grief therapy offers coping strategies to manage the overwhelming aspects of grief, facilitating healing and allowing individuals to gradually adjust to life with their loss. Additionally, grief therapy encourages the development of resilience and the integration of the loss into one's life narrative, ultimately fostering acceptance and meaningful remembrance.
