More about me
Licensing: LCSW Years in Practice: 19 State: California
I am an LCSW and have been licensed in California for 19 years. I believe that everybody is unique and that one approach doesn't fit all. My approach to therapy is integrative. I combine evidence based treatment with intuition to tailor therapy to each person's needs, taking into consideration their strengths and weaknesses. I use mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy and elements of other therapies. I have an interactive style and I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment that promotes safety and trust between therapist and client to help clients explore and resolve life challenges.
I have experience working with adults struggling with anxiety, mood problems, life transitions, trauma, relationship problems and grief/loss issues. I have worked in a variety of settings, including inpatient adult psychiatric unit and outpatient behavioral health clinics. I have specialized training in treating trauma, depression and anxiety, using Cognitive Processing Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Interpersonal Psychotherapy.
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.
