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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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!
