I am a dedicated and compassionate Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of California, bringing over five years of diverse experience to my role. I have a profound commitment to serving children, families, and individuals, leveraging my extensive background in non-profit agencies, community-based clinical work, and medical social work. I integrate a client-centered approach, emphasizing empathy, active listening, and tailored interventions. I believe in the transformative power of therapy, and I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to make positive changes in their lives. Seeking out therapy can often be a daunting and challenging step for many individuals, as it requires confronting personal struggles and vulnerabilities. I understand the courage it takes to embark on this journey, and it is my sincere hope to provide a safe, open, and trusting space where clients feel comfortable and supported. My approach emphasizes building a genuine connection with those I work with, honoring their autonomy and allowing them to guide the direction and pace of our sessions. Our time together can involve processing, identifying new coping skills, assigning homework (if that is your thing!), role-playing, and any other technique that will set you up for success. I look forward to connecting with you!
