About

Hello,

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of California. I have over 25 years experience is working in multiple clinical settings that include outpatient clinics, , private practice, retirement homes and criminal justice settings. My experience includes work with individuals, groups, couples and families.

I truly enjoy working with people and I am dedicated to providing a safe, non-judgmental setting that supports and empowers clients to manage a variety of concerns and transitions encountered in their lives. My approach is to create a comfortable and supportive atmosphere where the client and I work closely together in resolving issues. In my work I utilize a number of approaches that are best suited to to what is happening in the moment. These modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Solution-focused therapy, Mindfulness Practice and Trauma-Focused Therapy. I also utilize handouts and readings as I believe it is important to assist clients in building a virtual “Tool Box” in which they develop effective tools for working with difficulties in the future.

Over the years I have worked with clients struggling with many different issues such as depression, anxiety, stress-related issues, relationship problems, dealing with life changes, issues with aging, grief and loss as well as adjustment and crisis.

Reaching out for support during a difficult time is an important and positive step and I would look forward to working with you in this journey.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For a range of common concerns – such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life changes – online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person care.

One of the main benefits is flexibility. Clients can connect in the format that works best for them, choosing video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain consistency over time.

Another advantage is continuity of care. Licensed professionals deliver therapy remotely, and clients may switch therapists if they feel a different match would be more helpful. For many people, online therapy provides an accessible, evidence-aligned option for addressing everyday mental health concerns.
