I am a California Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) providing virtual therapy for children and teens ages 10–17. I teach adolescents how to manage big feelings, like anxiety, anger, and sadness, healthy coping skills. Through therapy, adolescents feel seen, supported, and empowered to build emotional resilience. I also partner with parents to provide guidance and support at home, helping families navigate life’s challenges together.
Therapy services are grounded in evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based interventions. These approaches help adolescents better understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while developing healthy coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and emotional challenges.
Family involvement is an important component of care and helps create supportive home environments to reinforce emotional regulation skills and encourage long-term emotional wellbeing. Mental health support is available for adolescents navigating the emotional challenges of living with Type 1 Diabetes.
