LCSW, 23 years of experience
Looking to reduce your depression and/or anxiety symptoms? Ready to improve your self esteem and go for your dreams? I’m here to assist! As a therapist with 23 years of experience, I’m ready to help you set your mental health goals and create a plan to get you on the path to health and happiness. We will capitalize on your strengths and shore up areas that need support, education and compassion.
I will ask you a lot of questions I ask everyone on their first visit so I can get to know you and your history. We will discuss the reason you came in for therapy and any symptoms you may be having and then set your mental health goals for our work together. These goals will guide our work and we will be checking in to see if things are getting better based on our plan each session.
I specialize in insight oriented therapy with practical applications to your real life. In other words, we explore where your patterns originated when possible but then spend most of our time finding effective and creative ways of implementing positive change. I help you thrive in your life!
LGBTQ clients but anyone who is motivated to change and grow is fun for me.
I worked at Kaiser LAMC and Riverside for 23 years and did FIC treatment using CBT. I also led Coping with Depression and Anxiety groups x 7 years
