About My Clients

Are you feeling stressed from caring for the people in your life? Are you feeling stuck, stressed, or overwhelmed by your grief? I believe we are all capable of change and growth, with the right amount of time, energy, and support. My goal is for you to feel empowered to make changes that prioritize your own emotional needs, in the same way that you prioritize the needs of the people you love. We all deserve support and care, regardless of how insurmountable our challenges may seem.

My Background and Approach

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) providing virtual psychotherapy sessions to individuals living in California and Colorado. I received my masters degree in Social Work from the University of Chicago, and I have been providing clinical services for over a decade. I have worked in community mental health, schools, hospice, and homeless services. I help my clients navigate complex, challenging situations, and I approach each client with thoughtfulness, humor, empathy, and authenticity. I create an inviting and warm therapeutic space within which we can identify where you are feeling stuck and set goals by visualizing a future that feels better. I have experienced my own host of losses, family illnesses, and life transitions - I know how isolating and overwhelming it can feel. My therapeutic approach trusts in the power of the relationship between therapist and client. Together, we can figure this out.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe mental healthcare is a human right, and that our world would be a more just, peaceful place if our emotional experiences were treated with respect and care. We all deserve to have someone to lean on during difficult times, to sit with, talk to, and process the losses and hardships that are fundamental to the human experience.
