Online Therapy for California Residents
"I think people need to talk about it more because it's almost like the fourth trimester, it's part of the pregnancy."
- Serena Williams, Professional Tennis Player
I am a licensed clinical social worker, certified perinatal mental health provider, veteran, parent, partner, and ally. I've always admired and valued mental health care, but came to this work only after trying on other careers in the military and corporate America. In retrospect, those life experiences have enriched my practice. I love this career and the impact a strong therapeutic relationship can have on a person; both life changing and, in some cases, life saving.
Though I specialize in working with adults trying to conceive, navigating fertility treatments, pregnancy, and postpartum, I also work with individuals living with anxiety, depression, and trauma. I enjoy working with veterans and active/reserve duty members as I have a lived experience serving in the military coupled with training specific to this community.
As an eclectic therapist I draw from various disciplines and methods, to customize the therapeutic process for each client. Here are some of the therapies I offer:
- Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)
How EMDR Psychotherapy works in your brain
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
- Motivational Interviewing (MI)
- Licensed therapist in California (LCSW #115933)
- Perinatal Mental Health Certificate (PSI #5764)
- University of Southern California, MSW
- Postpartum Support International
- Prior to private practice, I worked in LA County community mental health and with veterans and military families.
