About My Clients
I am skilled at helping people with anxiety. I feel like many people are dealing with varying levels of anxiety (especially during the pandemic!) and I have a lot of experience helping clients get and use tools to help manage it. Some of the tools I find helpful are healthy lifestyle including exercise and sleep, meditation, breathing exercises, and cognitive exercises to help notice and change negative thoughts. I have a broad range of clients, which I enjoy, but I specialize in young adults.
My Background and Approach
I've been working in the mental health field since 2003, providing intensive psychotherapy to clients in a variety of settings, including hospitals and clinics, as well as inpatient and outpatient treatment programs. I earned my Masters in Social Work from University of Southern California (USC) and her undergraduate degree at University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). I have also done advanced training in mindfulness at the Mindful Awareness Research Center at UCLA. I like to work collaboratively with my clients- I know that you are the expert of your life, and I like to work with you as a team to try out tools and techniques that will work best for you and the situation that is bringing you to therapy. I am active and engaged in sessions and like to jump in and problem solve with you to help you find relief from your stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or whatever is bringing you to therapy at this time.
