My Practice
Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has worked with a variety of individuals from all walks of life. I am a social worker at heart here to support and guide you to feeling and functioning better using a combination of evidence-based practices, human connection, and collaboration. I offer Telehealth individual therapy services for residents of California and Oregon, and am now offering in-person treatment for Oregon residents.
Treatment
I combine my clinical, social work, and life experiences to provide empathic, compassionate, & goal-oriented treatment in my practice. I specialize in treating individuals with mild to severe depression, anxiety and panic, complicated grief, and Bipolar disorder. My ideal client is someone looking for support in managing and decreasing stress, needing guidance through life changes, and/or someone with an openness to changing patterns that are no longer working for them.
Training
The modalities that I have been trained in include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, and Mindfulness. I also have training in the Gottman Method, Motivational Interviewing, am a certified Domestic Violence Counselor, & have experience navigating various government systems. My focus is to treat individuals seeking therapy for general life stress, depression, anxiety, grief, & conflict. I treat individuals who experience a range of severity in symptoms from mild to severe.
