About
As someone with lived experience in mental health and navigating social support systems, I bring a community-based understanding to my work with clients.
I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker with 7 years of experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I bring a community-based and integrated healthcare perspective to my work, with a focus on stability, self-awareness, and emotional well-being. My goal is to help clients build the tools to face life’s challenges while creating space for healing and growth through a compassionate, strengths-based approach.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern California, where I concentrated on clinical practice and trauma-informed care. I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness techniques to promote empowerment, insight, and sustainable change in everyday life.
I believe healing begins with being seen and understood. Together, we’ll create a supportive space where your experiences are valued, and your goals are within reach. You don’t have to face challenges alone—therapy can help rebuild hope and strengthen your confidence in moving forward.

Grief and loss counseling helps people grieve difficult losses including the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, or the end of a relationship. It helps people navigate their grief process and eventually accept, understand, and move forward from their loss. Thriveworks grief therapists in San Jose, CA have specific experience, training, and skills that enable them to best support grieving individuals.
Grief and loss counseling isn’t one-size-fits-all, but it involves sharing about your loss and then working with your counselor to acknowledge and accept your new reality in its wake. Your provider at Thriveworks in San Jose, CA will design your treatment plan around your unique needs and goals for therapy, applying the counseling techniques that best support them.
If you have recently experienced an event like the death of a loved one, a breakup or divorce, the loss of a job, or another major life change, then you may want to seek grief and loss counseling. Grief can be caused by many experiences and events, so if you feel that you are having trouble moving on from a certain event or find that it is still impacting your life and functioning, grief and loss counseling can help you process it more effectively so that you can move on and once again find fulfillment and satisfaction in your life.
There are many counseling theories for treating grief, one of the most frequently used being the dual process model of grief which helps people acknowledge who or what they’ve lost through rumination while also adjusting to the new roles and identities that this loss has now placed on them. There are also many commonly used therapy approaches used in grief and loss counseling, including Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and traumatic grief therapy.
Grief & loss counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
For many, grief and loss counseling lasts for about 6 months. For others, it may last shorter or longer, depending on the severity of their loss and their grief.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
