About me
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.
