I am so glad you’re here and I can’t wait to meet you.

My name is Fiona, and I am a licensed clinical social worker. I received my Bachelors' degree from UC Berkeley and my Masters of Social Work degree from San Jose State. I have worked with those struggling with anxiety and depression for over 5 years. I pull from an eclectic approach with skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and an orientation aligned with Internal Family Systems, solution-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing. I have a certification in DBT and am Level 1 trained in Internal Family Systems.

Modalities aside, I value your own experiences and expertise the most in our work together. In our work together, we will explore how your thought patterns, belief systems, repeated stories you tell yourself may contribute to how you feel and consequently what you do. Often, these beliefs are shaped by experiences we’ve had, and our reactions often reinforce the narrative we already believe and can keep us stuck in a loop of uncomfortable feelings. As we work together, we will understand these patterns and identify new ways of responding to the circumstances in your life and feelings and thoughts that arise. With time, you might notice yourself growing more patient and compassionate to yourself, and living a life more aligned with your own values.
