I am a Lincensed Clinical Social Worker in California with over 10 years of experience specializing in helping adults and adolescents navigate challenges related to anxiety and depression. I also work extensively with women experiencing postpartum mental health concerns, offering compassionate support during this pivotal time. My approach is centered in fostering a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their emotions, gain insight into their struggles, and develop practical coping strategies. By empowering clients to address the root cause of their concerns and build resilience, I strive to make a lasting impact on their emotional well-being and overall quality of life.
In our first session with me, clients can expect a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment where you can feel comfortable sharing your concerns. I will take time to learn about your personal history, current challenges, and goals for therapy. Together, we can begin identifying patterns, strengths, and areas for growth.
My greatest strength as a provider lies in my ability to create a compassionate, safe space where clients feel truly heard and understood. I combine deep understanding of psychodynamic principles with a client-centered approach, enabling you to explore the root causes of emotional struggles while empowering clients with practical tools for change. My specialized experience with anxiety, depression, and postpartum mental health concerns allows me to connect meaningfully with clients, addressing their unique challenges with empathy and tailored care. This combination of insight, expertise, and genuine connection fosters lasting growth and resilience in my clients.
I am best positioned to service adults and adolescents who are seeking support in managing anxiety and depression, particularly those who feel overwhelmed by the demands of daily life and are looking to regain emotional balance. I also excel in supporting women navigating postpartum mental health concerns, including postpartum depression, anxiety, and the challenges of adjusting to motherhood. My expertise is especially beneficial for individuals seeking compassionate, client-centered approach that emphasizes understanding, self-awareness, and practical tools for long-term emotional well-being. Clients who value a safe, empathetic environment and are ready to work toward meaningful change will benefit the most from my care.
I have experience using strengths-based treatment methods, which emphasizes people's self-determination and strengths. Strength-based therapy involves helping clients identify and build upon their existing strengths, resilience, and past successes to overcome challenges. Instead of focusing solely on deficits or pathology, I guide clients in recognizing their capabilities, resources, and inner strengths to foster growth and empowerment. This approach aligns with my commitment to providing comprehensive, client-centers care.
I frequently use supportive therapy to help clients manage anxiety, stress, and life transitions—particularly new mothers balancing work, parenting, and personal well-being. Supportive therapy is an empowering, strengths-based approach that provides practical tools, emotional validation, and structured coping strategies to help clients feel more in control of their challenges.
