I graduated with my MSW from USC. I am now an LCSW with a background in individual therapy with adults and older adults for the past 5 years. I have been trained in trauma therapy and have experience working with the VA. I work with depression, anxiety, trauma, adjustment disorders, grief, and boundaries.
I take a client-centered approach to therapy and believe in empowering individuals to learn skills to improve their mental health. When able I like to incorporate physical activities or behavioral activation to improve overall physical and mental health. I work to create a safe space where clients feel they are able to share without judgement and gain valuable insight into how to help themselves.
I use evidence based measures to gain baselines of symptoms. I periodically have clients fill them out to see where there is improvement and where there needs to be work. Goals are client specific. I work to meet clients where they are at and set achievable goals for each individual.
