I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California. I received my Masters from New York University and have been practicing for 7 years. I have also have 7 years of experience as a educator and supervisor for pre-licensed therapists. I love helping my supervisees and clients overcome their challenges, learn great lessons in the process, and achieve their highest potentials.

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

In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions, and discuss confidentiality, and other guidelines I want to make sure you are aware of as a client. Then we will dive into your needs and how I can support you with them.

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

I am loyal, dedicated, caring, compassionate and personable. I have worked navigated many of the issues you probably have as well and feel comfortable and confident supporting you through them.

My treatment methods

Attachment-based

I seek to provide a secure attachment with my clients. Many of you have attachment wounds from childhood. I will have an attuned presence, and help you connect to your emotional parts, among using other supportive interventions.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

We all have unproductive thought patterns. I can help you to understand them and the impact they have on your life. We can identify negative thinking and reshape them in a way that changes how you feel. We can navigate new behaviors and putting them into practice.

Psychodynamic

We all have unconscious processes that manifest in our present behavior. I can help you to develop self-awareness and understanding of the influence of the past on your present behavior.

Trauma Informed Care

Many of us have a history of trauma or may also be in a current traumatic situation. Trauma can impact survivors’ physical, emotional and behavioral health. I understand the nature of trauma and how it can affect people. I am able to recognize the signs of trauma, can support you through your trauma responses, and will labor to resist re-traumatizing you.

Culturally Sensitive Therapy

I understand the need to be a culturally competent therapist. I will recognize and respect your beliefs, perspectives, and values, your particular race, ethnicity, or region. You will be in a safe space to discuss any of your needs or concerns.
