New to Grow
I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) with a concentration in mental health from the University of Southern California (USC) in 2013 and have been a licensed clinical social worker since 2017. I specialize in working with high-achieving women who appear confident and accomplished on the outside, yet quietly struggle with overwhelm, self-criticism, or a sense of disconnect on the inside. Integrating cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed care, I help women manage stress, loosen perfectionistic patterns, and build a version of success that feels sustaining rather than depleting. My style is direct yet compassionate; I offer strategic, insight-driven work within a confidential space where you can exhale, reflect, and reconnect with yourself.
Our initial session is both an assessment and a collaborative roadmap, designed to understand your goals, establish direction, and determine whether we’re the right fit for meaningful work together.
I combine evidence-based practices with a trauma-informed lens to create an approach that is both effective and deeply personal. We will work together to achieve your goals and adapt the roadmap based on your feedback.
I work best with women who are open to beginning meaningful work to feel more centered, empowered, and fulfilled.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I am a Certified Cognitive Therapist and Diplomate of The Academy of Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies since 2018. In my practice, I use CBT to help you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected in order to implement long-term change.
Humanistic
With a humanistic approach, I focus on your personal strengths and offer empathy and support to help you move toward the goals that matter most in your life.
Motivational Interviewing
I draw on motivational interviewing techniques to meet you where you are, using open-ended questions to foster insight, exploration, and self-directed change.
Trauma Informed Care
I am sensitive to the past traumas you have experienced and hold a safe and warm space for you to explore and process without judgement.
