Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California. I studied Sociology at University of California, Santa Cruz and received my Masters in Social Work from New York University. I have been practicing for 4 years and have mainly worked with adolescents and adults. I have experience in crisis-intervention, longterm and short term therapy. My approach focuses on self-esteem building, anxiety, depression, interpersonal difficulties, and life transitions. I will meet you at wherever your needs are currently. Outside of work, I enjoy playing guitar, spending time with my family, and my pet rabbit.
During our sessions we will work together to gain a deeper understanding of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, leading to improved coping skills and a more positive approach to life. We can also work together to focus developing better relationships, managing your stress and anxiety, and work towards achieving a more fulfilling life experience.
I really do meet clients where they are at, as I have a strong client centered approach. I understand the importance of having an extra person in your life that will never judge and always view any issues you are facing with unconditional acceptance and empathy.
I enjoy working with clients who are struggling with ideas and expectations of themselves and the world around them. I find it helpful to be a source of reassurance and sometimes, the voice within my client's head, that everything is going to be okay!
I work with clients to help navigate self esteem, depressive thoughts, anxiety, and encourage positive change.
