- LCSW
Hello, and welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California, with 13 years of professional experience. I specialize in chronic illness, grief support, palliative care, caregiver support, and navigating life’s most challenging transitions.
Grief and serious illness can feel isolating, overwhelming, and deeply personal. My approach is compassionate, patient-centered, and rooted in creating a safe space where you can process your emotions at your own pace. Whether you’re coping with loss, facing end-of-life concerns, or supporting a loved one, I’m here to help you find meaning, resilience, and a sense of peace amidst uncertainty.
You don’t have to go through this alone. I look forward to supporting you on your journey.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
