More about Jaine
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
With more than 20 years of experience as a clinician, I have enjoyed working with a plethora of clients and issues such as life transitions, depression, and grief/loss. Diversity has been at the heart of my practice since the beginning of time, especially living in California and being a provider of color. Life transitions sometimes can be overwhelming. Although I love working with all life transitions, the two that I enjoyed helping people through the most have been postpartum issues (whether it's a first time or more with or without previous pregnancy loss) and grief/loss. With anxiety and depression issues, my approach has been using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness.
