Welcome to my website! Having my own private practice has been a life long dream of mine and I genuinely love what I do. So what is it that I do? I am a California licensed social worker (LCSW28085) specializing in helping children, adolescents, and young adults overcome difficulties with anxiety, depression, stress, and family or relationship problems. I utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), incorporating elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness, client centered therapy, motivational interviewing, exposure/response prevention, stress management, and family focused therapy, depending on the needs and goals of each specific client. I believe in tailoring therapy to each unique individual and focusing on treatments that have been proven by research to be effective. My approach is active, present-oriented, and I work collaboratively with clients and their families to set goals for therapy and then reach them together.
