I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Northern California. I received by MSW in Social Work at California State University, Sacramento (CSUS) and I also have a MS in Child Development from UC Davis. I have a background in working in the medical and psychiatric field, as well as 15+ years working with individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities. I have been practicing as a Social Worker for 9 years.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session we will talk about practical issues such as what to expect in therapy and how to communicate with me if you need to change or cancel appointments, etc. We will then discuss the reasons you are seeking assistance and begin to develop a plan for working on your individual concerns.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Humor is a particular strength I have that I use often in therapy when appropriate. My goal as a provider is to offer a safe, non-judgmental space for you to process your thoughts and feelings.

My treatment methods

Eclectic

I enjoy utilizing a flexible approach, drawing from various therapeutic approaches for assisting clients with exploring their unique concerns. I tend to utilize concepts from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) as well as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I have also received training in Narrative Therapy techniques.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I tend to utilize techniques from CBT frequently, to help clients with exploring negative thought patterns or fixed thoughts that may not be serving them. CBT can be useful in helping people develop new ways of looking at problems and developing coping strategies to enhance mental well-being.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I enjoy utilizing techniques from DBT to assist clients who are looking to improve distress tolerance, develop emotional regulation, and improve interpersonal relationships. DBT is also useful for helping individuals to develop skills in mindfulness, which can help people with enhancing balance in their lives.
