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 3 years and have mainly worked with adolescents and adults. I have experience in crisis-intervention, longterm and short term therapy. I will meet you at wherever your needs are currently. Outside of work, I enjoy playing guitar, spending time with my family and two pet bunnies.
During our first session together, we will start with introductions, then briefly discuss your past experiences with therapy (if you have any), what worked for you before and what doesn't work for you. We can then delve into any pertinent problems or issues you are currently facing, and then discuss eventual goals you may have for yourself in therapy. This will help us create a plan to guide us in future sessions together.
I really do meet clients where they are at, as I have a client focused approach to my sessions. 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 empathy.
I work with clients to help navigate depressive thoughts, anxiety, and encourage positive change.
