Hello and Welcome,

Congratulations on taking the first step in reaching out for support in meeting your needs and your goals for your mental health and wellness. I would love to help you with the next steps.

My counseling style has been described as warm, affirming, and genuine. I believe very strongly in treating others with respect and dignity and in staying with the client’s needs and desires for counseling. My approach integrates a variety of therapeutic paradigms such as mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy, as well as assists clients in understanding their own emotions, values, and motivations and in determining their own choices and life path. Most importantly, I believe that each of us has a unique personality and something of value to share.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California and have provided therapy and support for adults for the past 12 years. My history includes working with individuals who have histories of trauma, emotional concerns of depression and anxiety, and those who are transitioning and adjusting to new life stages and circumstances.
