I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of California. I have a Master's degree in Social Work from San Jose State University, as well as two Pupil Personnel Service Credentials, from the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing. I specialize in work with underserved youth in urban settings. Currently, I am a full time School Social Worker for San Francisco Unified School District.I have experience in working with issues of grief and trauma, depression, anxiety, self-esteem,ADHD, parenting issues, and the supervision of ASW, and MFT Trainee's towards clinical licensure.
I specialize in working with children and adolescents who are experiencing challenges in their lives including school performance, relationships with family and friends, or self-esteem. You might notice your child withdrawing, not interacting as usual with friends and family, getting into more fights,or struggling with self-confidence.
Your child and I may spend most of our sessions talking together. Children who are younger or who have less insight about their issues, may participate in other activities including playing games, moving our bodies, and doing art that will allow alternative ways for your child to express him/herself.
