Great to meet you!

For over 30 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of California, I have helped individuals and couples who present with a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief/loss, trauma, sexual abuse and relationship issues. My approach is strength-based utilizing evidence-based interventions to help clients develop insight and skills they will use throughout their lives.

My approach to therapy

I take a client centered approach to therapy. We will work collaboratively to identify goals for your treatment and will work at a pace that feels right for you. We all face difficulties in life. My goal is to help clients develop insight and skills they will use when faced with challenges throughout their lives.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, in addition to hearing what’s bringing you in I will ask for some background information. Together we will map out your goals. This is also the time when you will decide if my approach seems like a good fit.
