I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker in California with a demonstrated ability to develop rapport with people from various backgrounds. As a social worker, I have had the opportunity to work in various settings from medical and psychiatric hospitals, community mental health agencies and the criminal justice system (juveniles and adults). I have also worked with individuals challenged by addiction. Through the use of interpersonal dynamics, I can support individuals in accessing various psychological parts of themselves while focusing on the past, present and future.
In our first session together, you can expect me to focus on getting to know you and seeing life from your perspective before anything else transpires.
Given my wide range of experience with various population if different settings, one of my greatest strengths is developing relationships with individuals that lead to measurable, transparent progress
I have worked with individuals during various points in their lives and I specialize in working with teenagers, young adults and people challenged with light to moderate and severe mental illnesses. I have also supported those who are at risk and directly challenged by the criminal justice system.
I utilize Acceptance and Commitment therapy to guide treatment in regards to acceptance and developing strategies to move forward despite our difficult thoughts.
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral therapy treatment when it appears appropriate to support someone in noticing their problematic thoughts and finding ways to alter their responses
