I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California with 18 years of professional experience. I’m especially well-suited to support adults who are navigating life transitions—whether it’s a shift in career, relationships, identity, or stage of life. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about what’s next, therapy can be a powerful place to pause, reflect, and realign. My approach is strengths-based and collaborative, with a focus on fostering compassion, self-acceptance, and resilience. While eclectic in practice, I most frequently utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), and mindfulness-based interventions tailored to each person's needs. In our work together, we’ll explore the roots of self-judgment, and begin to cultivate a more kind, understanding, and supportive inner voice. You’ll learn how to soothe your nervous system, hold difficult emotions with more balance, and build a more caring relationship with yourself—one rooted in understanding, rather than judgment.
