More about me

Licensing: Ph.D., LCSW Years in Practice: 10 State: California

Do you feel isolated and alone, trying to cope with the ramifications of Covid19? Are you struggling, worrying about your family, your job, and the future? Do you have feelings and thoughts that trouble you? Emotional stress has known effects on physical health, so maybe now is the time to take care of yourself and sort things out.

I am an energetic, approachable, and compassionate Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California with an MSW from UCLA and a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from USC. I have 10+ years of experience providing integrative psychological therapy, treating anxiety, depression, relationship, and family conflict, as well as grief. I utilize CBT, Psychodynamic, Positive Psychology, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

Psychotherapy improves awareness of needs, appreciation of strengths, and a deeper understanding of stressors. I look forward to helping you feel better and I feel confident that you will meet your personal therapeutic goals. We will work together as a collaborative team to improve your overall life satisfaction.

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. Ranging from $60 to $90 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.

Overall

Carol is awesome! She is very friendly and makes me feel comfortable. She really listens to what I tell her. I know I have seen some improvement in myself since I first started with her. She believes in me, even when I don’t believe in myself, and she pushes me to see that for myself, and see how it is all just negative thoughts and not based on facts about who I am. She gives me real, practical ways that I can deal with my anxiety and just general I know that with her help and guidance I will be able to continue seeing improvement.

Overall

Carol took me on while I was going through an extremely painful and difficult period. I’m not out of the woods yet but she has been kind and patient; both comforting and guiding. I would recommend her to anyone who is seeking a good listener and a source of comfort.
