I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Masters Degree in Social Work from California State University Los Angeles. I have been working in mental health for over 35 years, and as a licensed professional for 14 years. My area of expertise is mental health and supporting clients to be able to adjust and cope better with a myriad of life stressors.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I will conduct an initial assessment and history to document your symptoms and how the symptoms are impacting your current functioning, as well as recommendations for continued treatment.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have compassion and understanding for those who are suffering and having a difficult time coping with aspects of their life. I am grounded in reality and I am direct but kind in my approach.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I appreciate working with clients that are open and ready to learn and understand how family history and early relationships impact current and future relationships, as well as understanding how untreated mental healthy symptoms can worsen and impact the clients life and ability to function at an optimal level
