I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker located in Sacramento, CA. I help clients who suffer from anxiety, depression, eating disorders, conflicts in relationships, adjustment difficulties, those experiencing grief and more.

I have worked in a variety of settings including adolescent and adult intensive outpatient services for depression, anxiety, and eating disorders. I have facilitated group therapy in many facets and have worked in and out of the hospital setting. I draw on my vast experience to help each of my clients in their unique situations. I am certified in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, a therapy style that relies on values, mindfulness, goals, and taking manageable steps. I assist clients as they determine what their mental health goals are and guide the development of tools to get them to those goals. I also draw from Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFT), mindfulness, and more bringing diverse modalities to each session. I believe that each client has different needs, therefore I draw from multiple types of therapy for an all-encompassing approach.

I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from California State University Sacramento in 2005. I earned my License in Clinical Social Work to provide psychotherapy in 2009. I strive to create a warm, trusting environment for clients to feel comfortable talking about their experiences and expressing their ideas. I hope to support clients in learning to cope with struggles and boosting healthy ways to manage their feelings.
