I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of California. I have over 20 years of experience in the field of social services and have been licensed as a clinician for over 13 years. I have worked with youth, adults and families, primarily facing significant trauma or major life transitions, such as the addition to a family by birth, adoption, fostering, blending of families or relative care.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our initial session we will discuss your background information and specifics as to what brings you to therapy. It will include questionnaires that address information about your present and past experiences. All of this information is used to better understand your needs. Your needs are unique to you and your treatment will be tailored to address your specific goals for therapy. I will work with you in the upcoming sessions to create goals we can use to move forward with our treatment together.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I believe some of my strengths are my ability to connect and listen, provide you a safe space to express yourself, where you can be heard without judgement. I demonstrate empathy and genuine care and compassion for my clients.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I specialize in working with individuals during major life transitions. Even positive changes in life come with unexpected stressors, and is often a time where a person may need additional support. My goal is to help you decrease negative symptoms that are impacting your day-to-day life and relationships.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Eclectic
I utilize a variety of treatment modalities, however each therapy experience is unique. The treatment modality will be tailored to each individual, to focus on your personal circumstances and needs. I will always focus on being person-centered and trauma informed. We will then decide together on what type of treatment modality will benefit you as an individual.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is utilized to address negative thought patterns and beliefs. With the use of CBT principles and practice, we can help not only identify, but modify and change our core beliefs. The identification and practice of coping skills you can use in your daily life will also be a focus of this treatment.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing can be used to help us determine your true reason and desire for change. This can help strengthen your commitment to change in your life.
