Imagine a place where children and teenagers feel safe to explore their emotions, build resilience, and discover their full potential. That’s the kind of therapeutic space I create in my practice. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW 113378) with over 10 years of experience, and I am deeply committed to helping young people thrive. My private practice focuses on children and adolescents ages 2 to 17, providing a supportive environment where they can navigate challenges, develop coping mechanisms and build a strong foundation for their future. I utilize evidence based practices such as CBT, and Play Therapy to help children navigate difficult emotions.

Throughout my career, I have worked in diverse settings, including acute care psychiatric facilities, corporate wellness programs, and even providing mental health services to civilians affected by conflict in the war zone in Iraq. These experiences have broadened my understanding of human resilience and the impact of trauma. I have seen children who were once struggling with severe anxiety, learn to manage their symptoms and thrive in school and social situations. My journey into motherhood has further fueled my passion for supporting young people. I specialize in working with children, adolescents and teenagers in addressing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, and trauma. I believe in creating a collaborative and empowering therapeutic relationship where children and families feel heard, understood and empowered. Early intervention is key, and I am passionate about helping children build the skills they need to have a happy and fulfilling life.

My greatest joy outside of work is making memories with my husband and our lively daughter, as we explore the wonders of California and beyond.
