More about me
Licensing: MA, LCSW Years in Practice: 30 State: California
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in California with over 30 years of experience working as a Psychiatric Social Worker and Psychotherapist. I have worked with forensic clients with a wide range of concerns including major mental illness, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse and helped those who have instigated physical trauma or emotional abuse. My clients have included both men and women
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating all humans with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I am an attentive listener and a clear communicator. My work is to hear your concerns and to empower self-improvement.
I understand that fear often accompanies the need for self-development. Very often life becomes more manageable simply through a sense of self-understanding. Few activities can match the serenity of being comfortable in one’s self-knowledge.
If this feel right for you, then I look forward to talking 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.
