Hi there, I'm Aviva!

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California, and I work entirely via telehealth. I have particular experience working with eating disorders, body image struggles, and the kind of burnout that shows up when you've been taking care of everyone else for too long or staying in unhealthy relationships.

My focus

I work with older teens and adults who are tired of managing things on their own — whether that's anxiety that won't quiet down, a complicated relationship with food and their body, burnout that's become the new normal, or relationship and family stress that keeps cycling through the same patterns.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is that we identify the specific patterns or thoughts that aren't working, we look at what's maintaining them, and we develop concrete strategies to shift them. I'm not a blank-slate therapist — I'll offer perspective, ask pointed questions, and give you real feedback when that's what's useful. We collaborate on solutions.
