I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California. I received my BA in Psychology from UC Davis and my Masters in Social Work from the University of Southern California. During my career I have assisted with clinical research focused on the development new treatments for PTSD and mild traumatic brain injury, provided direct care at community based mental health crisis stabilization and crisis residential programs, and am currently providing outpatient therapy to adults seeking support with a wide range of challenges.

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

During our first session we'll dive into the specific challenges you're facing and explore the factors in your life (physical health, family dynamics, important relationships) affecting your experience of these challenges. I also like to spend time learning more about your previous experiences with therapy, what you liked and what you didn't like. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

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

Past clients have said my strengths include my attentiveness in session, accepting attitude, openness to feedback, and my warm but direct communication style.

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

I love working with adults who are at various points of transition in life and career who may feel stuck or overwhelmed. My clients are curious about themselves, eager to make changes, and are open to learning and practicing strategies that will help them reach their goals.
