I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker (LCSW) based in California. I received my master's from California State University East Bay, and I have over 6 years of experience working in community mental health. I help adults struggling with diverse mental health diagnoses and Substance abuse. I help adults meet their goals and become the best version of themselves.

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

In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions and then dive into the specific challenges you are facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

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

I have diverse experience working in a crisis residential, community mental health in dual diagnoses seating, and hospital outpatient services; I have worked with diverse populations and supported patients struggling with severe mental illness and substance abuse. I have developed a tried- and true-play book for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT works by identifying and addressing how a person's thoughts and behaviors interact to create anxiety. I work with clients to recognize how negative thought patterns influence a person's feelings and behaviors.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I will utilize DBT to support patient with anxiety, depression and interpersonal conflicts to manage their thoughts, emotions, and relationships. I will be utilizing mindfulness practice, emotional regulation and distress tolerance to support client reach their goals.

Motivational Interviewing

Motivational interviewing is a counseling approach that helps people express their feelings and find their own motivations to change. I will be utilizing motivational interviewing to support clients who have a history of substance use.
