Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 20 years of experience providing therapy interventions and support to children, youth, and adults in various locations. I received my undergraduate degree from University of California San Diego and my Master's Degree in Social Work from Boston College. I help children, youth, and adults struggling with anxiety and stress to become the best versions of themselves.

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

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. My treatment approaches create a relational-based and holistic atmosphere of safety, trust, understanding, and acceptance. I use evidence-based treatments with clients. I also encourage and provide opportunities for decision-making, self-responsibility, and building your strengths in our sessions.

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

My greatest strengths include my ability to listen to your needs and build rapport with you to help you reach your treatment goals. I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

My years and experience working with children, youth, and adults are diverse and varied from working within an early childhood setting, to various integrated school settings, and private practice. I am invested in the cognitive, emotional and developmental growth of children and adolescents and believe in a strong partnership with parents to help create strong, secure and stable children throughout their lifespan. My treatment approaches create a relational-based and holistic atmosphere of safety, trust, understanding, and acceptance.
