I am a bilingual Latina Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California. I graduated from USC in 2019 and I have been doing individual therapy for six years. I have worked with children, teenagers, adults, and families who suffer with depression, anxiety, self esteem, trauma, stress management and relationship issues. I love helping people, and I am glad that I can help others build skills and cope with their stressors and emotions.  My approach to therapy is client-centered as I want to provide a safe space, support, and help those in need. I am certified in MAP and FOCUS.

Wendy is a great listener, and she asks important questions that help me process my feelings surrounding whatever issues we are talking about. I have worked with her for some time, and I appreciate having a judgment-free zone and having space to share while also being given the tools to work through my challenges. I also value the fact that she has been flexible to try and accommodate my schedule even with all she has on her plate.
