Individual Counseling:

Currently I am only providing individual therapy to clients. Most sessions are 50 minutes, with initial sessions extending up to 90 minutes to assess and gather information.

For minors: Individual therapy includes private sessions with the client, along with check-ins and sessions with parents/guardians as needed. These sessions with parents/family are essential, as increased connectedness and communication with client and parents can lead to better outcomes. Parent sessions provide insight into current treatment, progress, and implementation of strategies to improve a client’s wellbeing. In some cases check-ins may be monthly, but with others they may occur every session! It depends on the individual needs.

My counseling model uses a variety of treatment modalities, tailored to meet a person’s individual needs. I draw from a variety of sources including CBT, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, DBT, Trauma Focused CBT (TF-CBT), Solution Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. For those of you who don’t know what these things mean, it’s ok! We can take the time to talk them over and help you understand what they mean and how they’re used in sessions.

Parent Presentations:

As a former Psychiatric Social Worker in Los Angeles Schools, I have extensive experience providing educational presentations to parents, holding safe and supportive spaces for parents to speak on current struggles, and have provided guidance in navigating the complexity of ensuring your child gets the support they need in school.
