I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of California that is interested in helping "Women" with anxiety, stress, and adjustment to chronic illness. Previously, I worked in an outpatient clinic for nine years assisting adults cope and adjust to chronic illness and the social and emotional issues related, such as loss of career and/or formal lifestyle. These issues were addressed by using healthy coping strategies and stress reduction techniques. I also practiced mindfulness and cognitive behavior therapy at the clinic. I utilize a strength-based approach, which emphasizes the positive qualities of a person as well as their strengths. I practice with compassion, empathy, validation, gentleness, and understanding. I will meet you wherever you are in your journey to recovery and will tailor therapy for your unique needs.
Additional areas of focus: Chronic pain illness and disability, Social anxiety and phobia, Women's issues
Clinical approaches: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
