I am a California Licensed Clinical Social Worker with approximately 14 years of experience working with adults and youth. I am compassionate, and curious therapist and in my practice, I create a safe and trusting environment, providing my clients with the emotional support needed to overcome challenging issues and make positive adjustments to be and feel your best. My approach helps clients find their own way through reflection, self care and self compassion.

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

In our first session together, we'll start with introductions and discuss what your current challenges are, and how they may impact your life. We will create a plan with goals and objectives according to your needs and wants for us to work through in follow-up sessions. We will come up with strategies to instill hope and discuss possible ways to cope with current stressors.

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

By being an empathetic listener and providing validation to my clients' experiences and challenges, I help my client process their issues and create goals to achieve desire goals and make positive progress in their mental health.
