Hello, Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California. I have worked with many types of individuals including adults and children for the last 20 years. I aim to support your goals and would like for you to find the best way to cope with life's challenges. We will work together to use your strengths and positivity so you can be the best version of yourself.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. Sometimes what we start with may not always be what we finish with. The journey of therapy can bring up lots of realizations. We will go at your pace and find your comfort level.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I love working with all types of people, but my strength is helping you to communicate better with others, to reduce any symptoms of anxiety and depression, and to increase your self esteem. I work best with those who are willing to improve their lives and are open to using tools as well. I would like to help you process whatever you need to so you can move forward and not stay stuck in old patterns of thinking and doing. I also love to teach simple skills on how to find resilience during hard times.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with all types of individuals. I can work with you to help reduce your anxieties and depression. Whether you are a teenager or adult, I would love to assist with whatever you need. Our relationship is important for therapy to work. When we meet I will listen to you and then you can figure out whether I'm the therapist for you!

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I’ve been using Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT) in my practice for the past five years. In our sessions, we'll work together to understand your challenges and identify unhelpful thought patterns that may be affecting your emotions and behaviors. Using CBT techniques, I'll help you reframe negative thoughts, develop healthier coping strategies, and practice new skills in daily life. If you would like, I can provide simple exercises to apply between sessions. We will track your progress together to make sure this approach works for you. I will take your lead and we will start where you are at and what feels right for you!
Trauma Informed Care
Sometimes we do not recognize certain life events as trauma and do not realize that our past trauma has a lot to do with how we function currently. If appropriate and with time, we can explore some of your thoughts, feelings and behaviors as related to your past trauma. My goal is to create a supportive, non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing at your own pace. We’ll work together to recognize how trauma may affect your life and use tools to help you heal, build resilience, and regain control over your journey.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
If needed, we can focus on solutions rather than problems. If you are looking for a time-limited and goal oriented approach, we will look at what’s already working in your life and build on it. I’ll help you set clear, achievable goals and find practical steps to get there. This approach is short-term and focused on helping you make meaningful changes as quickly as possible.
