I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in California with 7 years of professional work one on one and group based therapeutic experience. I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, coping with grief, coping with loss, motivation, self esteem, & confidence. I also have experience working with coping with life changes and seasonal changes (seasonal depression/ Holiday Blues).
