About me

Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based out of San Diego, California. I graduated with my MSW from University of Southern California in 2018. I enjoy working on issues like self-esteem, body image, healthy relationships, attachment and trauma. I work well with clients who are seeking therapy for the first time and possibly feeling anxious about the process.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During the first session, I ask lots of questions but there is no pressure to dive into anything too fast. I try to get a sense of what the client is looking for and come to an agreement on next steps.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I'm a good listener, warm, down to earth and intuitive.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I like working with young adults navigating life transitions such as career, relocation and relationship endings.
