About

The Care You Deserve

Welcome! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and EMDR Therapist committed to providing a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space for my clients to feel seen, understood, and empowered to heal and grow. I have extensive training and experience to treat trauma, anxiety, depression, grief & loss, and associated issues of addiction, isolation and relationship struggles. My specialty areas include adults with adverse childhood experiences, women in midlife transitions, adults with late diagnosis Autism and ADHD, and parents of neurodivergent kids. I earned an MSW from University of Maryland, MPH from University of Massachusetts, BA in Psychology from Brandeis University, and hold EMDR Certification from EMDR International Association. I offer in-person sessions in Del Mar and virtual sessions for clients anywhere in California. Please contact me for a free 10-minute consultation call. I look forward to meeting you and making positive and encouraging changes together!
