Hello, Thank you for taking time to read my profile. I am a licensed clinical social worker and a certified qualified supervisor for social work interns. With my 33 years of social work experience in multiple settings, and belief in the power of the proper alignment of mind body and spirit, I am confident that I can support you wherever you are in your life struggles. I will intentionally help you identify and tap into your own abilities and strengths to achieve your goals of improving your quality of life. I strongly believe that the therapeutic relationship impacts therapy outcomes, and I therefore endeavor to establish the relationship based on a non-judgmental approach, showing respect, compassion, and validation. I understand that asking for help can be sometimes difficult and I acclaim your strength for doing so at this time. I look forward to becoming an integral part of your journey and am humbled to be chosen as your guide and cheerleader. Case types include: mood disorders/anxiety and depression, faith and religion, guilt and shame, aging and adjustment, life transitions, family conflict, grief loss and bereavement, medical and end of life, immigration, prejudice and discrimination, workplace, women’s issues. My therapeutic interventions combine cognitive-behavioral, person centered, solution focused, motivational interviewing and mindfulness. I will establish your treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I look forward to working with you. **Please note I only provide therapy via live video with occasional telephone mode.
