I am passionate about mental health care that is accessible, supportive, and helps empower you to grow and achieve your therapy goals.

Qualifications

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of California, LCSW #127711.

I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Sociology from the University of California, Santa Cruz (2012) and a Master's of Social Work from California State University, East Bay (2016). I became independently licensed in 2024.

Experience

I have a combined 12 years of experience in the behavioral and mental health field. I have provided in-home behavior therapy and supervision of treatment plans, school-based mental health including Individual Education Plans (IEP), community mental health treatment, early childhood mental health, and mental health consultation.

Treatment Approach

I believe that therapy is a team effort. I am here to listen, ask questions, and share observations to help you move forward in a positive and healthy way. I also think of therapy as a safe and supportive space for you to slow down a bit to think through challenges and “just be” with difficult experiences in a way that you may not have the time, space, or support to do in your daily life.

I know that therapy can sometimes feel like work. It’s something you have to find time for in your already busy life. Sometimes it’s just not fun to talk about painful experiences or try to change unhelpful patterns you may feel stuck in. My hope is to bring lightness, humor, and a little bit of joy to this process. I believe the investment in yourself is worth it because you are worth it!
