Empowering

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based out of Orange County, California. I received my Master of Social Work from The University of Southern California (USC) and I’m a proud Trojan! I have done hospital based brief therapy for the last 15 years, but also have clinic experience. I am so excited to get back to longer-term individual therapy.

Get to know me

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

The goal of my first session is simply getting to know each other, and seeing if we are a match. I truly believe that for therapy to be successful, the clinician and the client have to be aligned. Our first session will test just that!

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I meet everyone where they are - no judgment or agenda. Every client is different, and therefore sessions should reflect that.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am passionate about helping others navigate new transitions in life, whether it’s adjusting to major life changes, shifting careers, becoming a parent, moving to a new place, and even unfavorable transitions to chronic illness. I find meaning in guiding people through uncertainty and growth, offering support and strategies to help them embrace change with confidence. My work reflects a deep commitment to empowering others as they step into new chapters of their lives.

I love her so much. I am so grateful. I cannot limit my feedback to only two descriptions. She fits them all. Warm, empowering, solution oriented, holistic, warm, and still gives me time to trauma dump throughout. Thank you so much
