Hi there, I'm Yuka!
I’m so glad you are here! I'm a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Southern California. Have you ever felt like your negative self-talk prevents you from achieving your goals, or that it’s so hard for you to say no to other people’s requests, and you become anxious or stressed out afterward? You are not alone.
My focus
I’ve found that my style and approach are a good fit for adults who want to improve their self-talk, self-esteem, healthy boundaries, assertiveness, and communication skills. The above issues often manifest in the form of depression, anxiety, panic attacks, work stress, grief, and interpersonal communication difficulties, which you may not realize.
My approach
My approach is eclectic because I don’t believe that one therapeutic modality fits all. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as my primary approach, but I also incorporate other modalities such as Mindfulness, Behavioral Activation, Motivational Interviewing, Systematic Desensitization, and Emotional Freedom Tapping.
