LCSW, 2 years of experience
Welcome! I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). I received my masters from UC Berkeley and have been practicing for a few years now. I work with individuals going through life transitions and unexpected directions in life. I have experience in motivational interviewing and trauma focused practice. I offer sessions every other week, and my practice includes providing clients with written worksheets for outside of sessions. I also like to work with clients to identify natural supports outside of therapy. If you are seeking someone to sign off on FMLA, EDD, SSI, Emotional Support Animal, time off work, ETC., I will refer you to your medical doctor and/or provider who you meet with in person.
In our first session we will each introduce ourselves and talk about our hopes and expectations for sessions. We will then discuss the reason for seeking out support and develop a general plan for next steps.
I have many years of study focused on trauma and working with individuals who have experienced traumatic events.
I love working with individuals who are looking to develop their own self-awareness and community support to buy move through challenging and unexpected stages in life.
I was trained to encourage clients to identify and take advantage of their individual, family and community strengths in working toward solutions.
