I have been licensed as a clinical social worker (LCSW) for over twenty years, currently hold a role at Stanford Medicine and previously served as Clinical Director at a local non-profit providing school-based counseling services. I have participated in academic research and have presented at various national conferences. I specialize in working with people impacted by medical conditions (person with condition, caregivers, siblings), health care workers, and people in life transitions. I value providing LGBTQIA+ affirming care.
I work from a trauma-informed and multi-theoretical perspective, meeting you where you are in your journey so we can together consider various approaches to help you move forward. My style is empathic and direct. I help my clients find self compassion and identify their strengths to optimize our work together.
In our first session, we will discuss your concerns and needs, review your mental health history and current status so we can start to formulate a path forward.
