LCSW, 4 years of experience
Frequently rebooked
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. I help teens and young adult women navigate stress related to 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.
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.
For those dealing with stress related to relationships, I will help you to identify both strengths and where you would like to see improvement to create healthier relationships. For those dealing with anxiety and depression, I will help you to identify the contributing factors and find ways to cope with your symptoms to improve your quality of life.
I enjoy working with teenagers and young adult women who are navigating interpersonal relationships, whether that is related to friends, family, or romantic relationships. I am experienced in working with those who struggle with anxiety and depression as well as individuals with autism and ADHD.
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.
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.
I utilize supportive treatment methods by providing encouragement and being understanding of clients' backgrounds and situations.
