About Me
I am a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience providing individual & group therapy. With an MSW from UCLA, I have been trained in the assessment & treatment of a range of emotional, behavioral, and interpersonal challenges. Before transitioning to my private practice full time in January 2020, I was a therapist and supervisor at the University of Rochester Medical Center and Children's Hospital Los Angeles.
Areas of Specialization
- Anxiety and stress
- Sadness and depression
- Adjustments and life transitions
- Interpersonal and relational problems
- Educational and career challenges
- Chronic illness and pain
- Maternal mental health
Treatment Approach
In a safe space to talk about stressors & challenges, my clients and I work together to develop an understanding of what brings them to counseling and ways to help them move forward and feel better. I use evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, & compassion focused therapy, in my work with clients as they make meaningful changes in their lives.

what you offer to the world.

Women are often experiencing high levels of stress and the weight of their many roles. Many are also experiencing transitions which involve shifting expectations for themselves and their lives. In addition, women are often held (and hold themselves) to high standards, whether as a friend, a professional, a partner, or in other areas, such as weight or appearance. As a result, many are experiencing anxiety, depression, and feeling tired, overwhelmed, and burned out. Therapy can provide a helpful space to pause, reflect, and
clarify with a professional.

Becoming a mother is one of life's biggest transitions. It may be a joyful, wanted change, and at the same time, be incredibly stressful and exhausting. Motherhood involves transitions on every level--biological, emotional, psychological, and relational. A challenging pregnancy, delivery, and/or postpartum complications can cause anxiety

You may find yourself struggling to make sense of all of these changes and what they mean for your life and identity. Therapy with a trained counselor can help.
