I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with a Master’s in social work from the University of Southern California. I am passionate about helping children (ages 12+), teens and young adults and have multiple years of experience with this demographic. I work to help them understand themselves better and build upon their specific strengths. I understand adolescence and young adulthood is a hard stage of life that presents new emotions, and I strive to provide guidance and care during this transitional time.
Together, we will work on adapting and personalizing tools to gain awareness and create meaningful change. I use strategic therapeutic interventions to assist in learning how to regulate emotions, explore why certain patterns of thinking and behaving exist, and heal past wounds. My focus areas are anxiety, depression, OCD and life transitions. My goal is to have my clients leave sessions feeling confident to handle the hard days and enjoy every moment of the good ones.
