I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California with 8 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, parenting issues, motivation, self esteem, confidence, & depression. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
My therapy style is warm, accepting and supportive. My approach combines solution focused therapy mixed with motivational interviewing and a cognitive behavioral approached. In my work with clients I believe in identifying and uncovering the many strengths that are unique to each individual. Creating a treatment plan that is tailored specifically for your desired goals is key for defining the path of our time together and to get you to your ultimate goals. I will help you create and implement solutions for your goals, while address things that may be getting in the way of you living your best life in your present situation.
You have taken a brave step in searching for help in your life. You should be proud. Finding the right match of a therapist is important in that journey. If my style and expertise speaks to you then please reach out.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
