Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California. I received my Master's degree from California State University, San Marcos and have been providing mental health services for the past 6 years. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental, and empathetic environment for self-exploration. My approach is grounded in the belief that every individual has the potential to grow and change and is deserving of acceptance. I have had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, and adults in outpatient therapy, partial hospitalization, residential programs, intensive outpatient therapy, and schools. I am experienced in working with individuals seeking help with anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, self-esteem issues, life transitions, and relationship issues.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session together will be an opportunity for us to explore what you hope to address in treatment and any questions that you may have regarding the therapeutic process. I will discuss your expectations of treatment, my ethical obligations to you as your therapist, and review general questions to get a sense of your concerns. I will provide space for you to discuss your goals for treatment so that we can work collaboratively to create a treatment plan that best meets your needs.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am passionate about helping others discover their self-worth and assisting them in overcoming obstacles that are impacting their ability to achieve their personal goals. I feel that my greatest strength as a therapist is creating a trusting, safe space in which my clients feel heard and empowered. I would be honored to be given the opportunity to be a collaborative partner in your journey to creating meaningful change in your life.
