I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in the San Francisco Bay Area, working with clients via telehealth throughout California. I work with adults of all ages and specialize in anxiety, stress, and life transitions. I provide short-term solution-focused therapy as well as longer-term insight-oriented therapy, depending on a person's goals.
My approach to therapy is individualized according to the unique needs of each client I work with. I draw from a range of therapeutic techniques and interventions to empower clients in navigating life’s challenges, supporting growth, and achieving meaningful change.
My communication style is warm, friendly, attentive, open, and supportive. I am also a strong believer in the (appropriate) use of humor in the therapeutic process.
