Hey there, I’m a licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California. I received my masters from University of New England with a focus in Individuals, families and groups. I’ve been practicing for 13 years. I specifically enjoy helping people find perspective through the voice of their pain. I think pain and discomfort can be our best teacher if we allow ourselves to look at it, this way.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session we will start with brief introductions, then dive into why you are here. We will also discuss your beliefs about the challenges you are facing and what you hope to gain from therapy. We will then begin to talk about a tailored plan that we will use to help you reach your goals.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

With over 13 years of experience working with individuals, families, and groups, I’ve developed an effective and compassionate approach to helping clients uncover the limiting beliefs that may be keeping them from reaching their goals. My work focuses on identifying the root causes of recurring patterns and breaking them down in a way that promotes clarity, growth, and measurable progress. I strive to help clients move from feeling stuck to feeling empowered and confident in their ability to create meaningful change.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I love using the CBT model amongst many other treatment methods such as adlerian theory, the psychodynamic, humanistic and the strength based approach. I specifically enjoy the CBT model because it asks questions that are direct, promoting more focused thinking. Most people don't want to be in therapy forever so CBT is the perfect model to assist with meeting goals and remaining on task. In using CBT over the last 11 years, I've seen individuals gain relief with depression, anxiety and panic disorder, bipolar, borderline personality disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and post traumatic stress disorder. I have enjoyed assisting individuals with the CBT model by way of providing coping tools and techniques that can be used after the session to further support a client in meeting their goals in a manner that is personal to them.
