Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in the San Francisco Bay Area, California. I received my Masters in Social Work from California State University, Long Beach in 2021. I help teens and young adults navigate stress related to relationships (family, friends/peers, romantic relationships) as well as school and work stress. I also help individuals dealing with anxiety and depression to manage their symptoms and develop positive coping skills.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we will discuss your background and what brought you to therapy at this time. We will discuss what specific stressors you are dealing with as well as what you hope to get out of therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
For those dealing with stress related to family/peer/romantic relationships, I will help you to identify both strengths and where you would like to see improvement to create healthier relationships. For those experiencing self-esteem, self-worth, and body image issues, I will help you to recognize your strengths and come to a place where you feel comfortable with yourself.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I enjoy working with teenagers and young adults who are navigating interpersonal relationships, whether that is related to friends, family, or romantic relationships. I also enjoy working with individuals who are dealing with self-esteem, self-worth, and body image issues who want to improve their confidence and view of self.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients reframe negative thought patterns. I also use it to see how clients' thoughts, emotions, and behavior are intertwined and affect one another.
Strength-Based
I utilize strength-based treatment methods by helping clients recognize what strengths they have. I also help clients to see their strengths in situations where it might be difficult to identify.
Supportive
I utilize supportive treatment methods by providing encouragement and being understanding of clients' backgrounds and situations.
Attachment-based
I utilize attachment-based treatment methods by helping clients to identify their primary attachment style and understand how it affects their interactions with partners, peers, and parents.
