I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California. I’ve had the joy of working with individuals for the past 7 years. I specialize in helping individuals navigate life's challenges, including anxiety, depression, relational challenges, self-esteem challenges, and life transitions. I genuinely believe in creating a warm and welcoming space where you can feel safe to share your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Together, we’ll explore your experiences, enhance self-awareness, develop tools to overcome obstacles, develop coping strategies, and empower you to embrace the changes you want to see in your life.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide clients on their paths to healing and personal growth. In a safe space, we’ll explore your thoughts and feelings, identify distorted thinking patterns, and challenge negative beliefs through techniques like cognitive restructuring.
In our first session, we’ll start by getting to know each other. I want you to feel comfortable! Once we’re settled in, we’ll gently dive into the specific challenges you’re facing. This will help me understand your unique experiences and dreams so we can create a plan together for our future sessions.
