More about me

Years in Practice: 10 State: California

I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker with over 20 years of experience working in the mental health field. I received my Master of Social work degree from Cal State East Bay focusing on community mental health in 2013. Within the last 8 years, I have worked at the West Contra Costa Youth Service Bureau as a Clinician providing counseling to youth ages 7-18. Many of the youth I serve have been exposed to multiple traumatic events including domestic violence, and community violence. Many of the clients I service I have a wide variety of concerns including depression, anxiety, suicide ideation, irritable and angry outburst, isolation, and low impulse control. I have also served as a clinical intern for 5 years at the Northern California Family Center where I provided individual psychodynamic therapy to children and adults diagnosed with ADHD, General Anxiety, Depression, and Pica. Additionally, I supported families and couples with conflict resolution.

I have a warm and friendly approach to the clients I serve. I am passionate, nonjudgmental, and listen to clients' needs. I have a resourceful approach to the clients I work with and support them with identifying immediate needs prior to addressing therapeutic needs. I believe in empowering others and supporting others with finding their true self. I have used seeking safety, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic therapy when working with my existing clients.

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.

Annette is great! She listens to me, challenges me and motivates me. She truly cares about me and the challenges I’m facing and is committed to helping me improve myself. She is compassionate and caring, but at the same time holds me accountable for my words and my actions. I would absolutely recommend her as a therapist!

With the help of Annette's warm and gentle approach I have been able to open up and express difficult things in such a way that they no longer have control over me. They never disappear, but I can start to accept them. Through our work, I have built a stronger foundation to stand on that can withstand the difficulties better. I have gotten renewed insight into the strengths and support systems that already exist in my life and this insight has broadened my view of my life overall. I highly recommend Annette.

This was my first experience attending therapy and Annette made it such a pleasant experience for me. Annette was great at listening to the challenges that I faced and came up with helpful exercises to help me through them. Through therapy, I regained my sense of self and am stronger for it. I feel better about my past traumatic experiences and I look forward to what the future holds. The platform itself made it really easy for me to find help in a short amount of time and it was convenient to have all my sessions online. Thank you Annette for all the awesome work that you do (:
