About

"Do you want to have more peace, direction, and focus in your life? Are you struggling with a life transition or ongoing challenge? I empower adults and seniors to break through barriers and navigate life challenges so that they can create more fulfilled lives. I work with clients to address issues including health conditions, caregiver issues, life transitions, relationship issues, women’s issues, depression, anxiety, grief, adjustment problems, meaning and purpose inquiries, self-esteem, issues of aging, and long-term planning/resource navigation. I love using skills and experience to empower and support clients. In addition, I use a holistic approach with each client, incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness interventions, Motivational Interviewing, Compassionate Communication, Strengths-Based and Solution-Focused therapies. I bring warmth, compassion, and depth to each session, to help clients uncover and transform obstacles, re-discover inner strengths and wisdom, develop healthy coping skills, and take steps toward their goals so that they can feel more empowered on their journeys. I have been providing assessments, counseling, and support services for adults and seniors since 2008. I obtained my MSW degree with honors from California State University- Long Beach in 2010, and then worked as an Associate Clinical Social Worker with clients, families/caregivers, and care teams in settings including a psychiatric clinic and health care/dialysis clinics. I obtained my LCSW in California in 2019 and my LCSW-C in Maryland in 2020. I have been providing therapy and support services for older adults and caregivers this past year. Outside of work, I enjoy walking in nature, practicing yoga, meditation, dancing, sharing healthy meals and conversations with loved ones, reading, writing, creating art, and spiritual community. I look forward to supporting you on your journey! **I will be starting to work with clients remotely on October 9th, 2023,
