About My Clients
I enjoy working with adolescents and young adults experiencing anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and relationship issues. I work primarily from a cognitive-behavioral perspective. I help clients identify harmful thought processes and behavioral patterns and encourage them to develop positive coping mechanisms. I love working with clients who are motivated to self-reflect and make positive change.
My Background and Approach
I began my career in the mental health industry in high school when I volunteered for four years at Teen Line, a teen-to-teen crisis hotline based in Los Angeles, CA. Following high school and Teen Line, I received my BA from Harvard University where I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a concentration in Psychology. After working at a suicide prevention center for two years training volunteers and answering crisis line calls, I returned to graduate school and earned an MA in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University. While in school, I completed my internship at Optimist Youth Homes and Family services. At Optimist, I worked as a therapist for low-income children and adolescents and their families, providing free mental health care.
