More about me
Licensing: LCSW Years in Practice: 4 State: California
Looking for a therapist can be anxiety provoking and challenging. For almost two decades, I’ve worked with children and adults in various stages of their lives from those suffering from acute issues to those just feeling stuck and seeking a gentle nudge. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology from Temple University and a Master’s in Social Work from California State University East Bay. I’ve worked in various nonprofit organizations, including supporting chronically homeless, a rape crisis center, and a family support center in San Francisco with an emphasis on supporting parents who are trauma survivors. My sociology background grounds me in looking at how social forces shape us; my therapy practice creates a safe and comfortable place to untangle these internalized messages. We'll work together to figure out new tools to break patterns that no longer serve you that can create stress, anxiety and body discomfort and pain.
I believe having a space to explore our stories can help us better understand ourselves which leads to feeling more grounded and whole. This kind of reflection can translate into staying calm while our child is having a mega meltdown or better dealing with a difficult coworker or romantic partner. I believe we can transform our past and current painful experiences into opportunities for growth. I look forward to working with you!
About online counseling
Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
