Life and all of its stages are filled with change. At times those changes are welcomed, and other times they are unexpected, feel burdensome, and create worry. I will listen and will focus on understanding your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to empower you to develop a deeper understanding of yourself, set goals based on your values, and feel relief. As a clinical social worker, I focus on the whole person in their environment. I have developed a nurturing, inclusive, person-centered approach that values each individual’s unique situation and decision making process, and look forward to connecting with you.
I began providing individual services in 2002, at UCSD, where I received extensive training on creating behavior change, and then spent 10 years running a military family counseling department. In my work, I saw the difficulty people often had in accessing in-office services and to address this need, began to provide online therapy to connect with clients.
I have provided therapy online since 2015, and offer morning and evening sessions to fit into your life. I am committed to working with individuals who have difficulty feeling comfortable in an office setting, or have a demanding schedule (due to work, care-giving or childcare). I believe that connection is the key, not the means through how we connect.
