My name is Megan, I am a licensed clinical social worker in California with 6 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with multiple areas of need, including autism/ behavioral challenges, anxiety/ depression, loss & grief, coping tools, career challenges, relationships, and psychosis. I have my LCSW licensure and obtained both my B.A. and M.S.W. Degrees from The University of Southern California USC. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming hardships that challenge you.
I begin treatment by getting to know you as a person and why you are seeking therapy at this time. Understanding your background, cultural identity, and presenting barriers to problem solving, are critical components I take into consideration throughout treatment. My goal as a therapist is to help you build resiliency and reduce barriers in the process.
I am compassionate, empathetic, and nonjudgmental in my work, and have endured many hardships in my life that allow myself to relate to clients and understand where they are coming from, and that change is not easy and a lifelong process. I am patient, I approach each session with care and focus on a clients strengths through out the treatment process.

I work with clients who are struggling, and whose symptoms are impacting themselves and or their family members. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.
