About me
get to know
As an experienced licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), I am here to provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals, couples, and families to create positive and long-lasting change in their lives.
I work from the perspective that the client is the expert in their lives. I see myself as a guide to help you on your journey toward mental wellness, personal growth, and fulfilling relationships.
We work collaboratively to identify the areas where you are stuck, patterns that are unhelpful towards your growth, and boundary issues preventing you from being your best self. We find the best ways to strengthen your emotional regulation by tapping into the wisdom within you.

My Professional Experience
I began my therapeutic career at Purdue University, where I obtained a degree in Psychology while working as an advocate for victims of sexual assault and in the field of suicide prevention.
After completing my Master of Social Work at the University of Southern California, I provided therapy to children in the foster care system, assisting clients in processing trauma relating to physical and sexual abuse, neglect, and exposure to domestic violence.
Later, at Jewish Family Service of Los Angeles, I provided short and long-term therapy to clients dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, and life transitions; while specializing in individual and group therapy for mothers and fathers facing perinatal mood and anxiety disorders.
Outside of work, you can find me volunteering as a Postpartum Support International Coordinator, hiking and spending quality time with my family, my rescue dog, and my two rabbits.

My Philosophy
At the core of my philosophy lies the belief that having a strong relationship with my clients is the ultimate key to successful therapy. I create a secure and reliable atmosphere to ensure that we connect, behave, and engage in a way that fosters your growth and transition.
CBT: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
IPT: Interpersonal Therapy
Psycho-Dynamic Therapy
ACT: Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
ACT is a type of therapy that helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting against them. The goal is to help people focus on their values and take actions that align with those values, even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present.

CBT: COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY

Psycho-Dynamic Therapy
ACT: Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
IPT is a type of therapy that focuses on how people interact with others and their relationships. The goal of IPT is to identify and address problems in these relationships, such as communication issues, conflicts, and life changes that may affect a person's ability to connect with others.
IPT: INTERPERSONAL THERAPY
CBT: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
IPT: Interpersonal Therapy
Psycho-Dynamic Therapy
ACT: Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
This is a type of therapy that focuses on the unconscious thoughts and emotions that may influence a person's behavior. The therapy aims to help people understand and address unresolved conflicts or experiences that may impact their current life. It's more long-term and less structured than ACT, CBT, and ICT. Psychodynamic therapy is focused on gaining insight into past behaviors and patterns while watching them appear throughout the therapeutic relationship to address them and develop ways to move forward.

Thank you so much!
Please know that I will do my best to get in touch with you within 24 hours of receiving your inquiry.
The length of therapy is highly dependent on the individual's unique needs and circumstances. It is important to have open and honest communication with your therapist about your goals for therapy and to work collaboratively to determine an appropriate treatment plan, goals and timeline.
How long does therapy take?
Determining if you need therapy can be a personal decision and sometimes making the first call can be very anxiety provoking. Therapy may be a good option if you are looking for a safe and supportive space to explore your thoughts and feelings, learn new coping strategies, improve or restore previous functioning or work towards your personal goals.
