About

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California, specializing in individual and group therapy. I have over 20 years of experience providing services to adults and adolescents, including case management and individual and group therapy. I work with clients using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and other modalities to help them learn how to recognize and change unhealthy or painful patterns in their lives. I have worked with clients with many concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, and career challenges. I have also helped people who have experienced physical trauma and emotional abuse. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. The work is not always easy or comfortable, but it is rewarding and has the power to bring lasting positive change to our lives. I hope to be able to get what I’ve learned to my work with clients. Not as an expert or someone with all the answers but as a coach or guide. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. I am here to support and empower you if you are ready to take that step. I look forward to working with you!
