Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in CA, working with clients via telehealth- video. My expertise is working with children, current and former foster youth, adolescents, and families to help manage anxiety, depression, trauma symptoms, and increase healthy family functioning.

My approach to therapy

Because therapeutic approaches need to be individualized and based on the client's needs, my approach varies in therapy. However, the most common theoretical approaches I utilize in therapy are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), Psychodynamic Theory, Solution Focused, Humanistic, Compassion Focused, Interpersonal and Motivational Interviewing.

What you can expect from me

During the first session, we will get to know each other to build a therapeutic relationship and identify needs, strengths, and goals.
