Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I have been practicing for about 6 years. I graduated from Cal State Long Beach and I help clients become the best versions of themselves. I have experience in working with people who have serious mental health issues and co-occurring disorders, depression, anxiety, and grief. I believe that the client is the expert in their own lives and I am here to assist them achieve their goals in a positive way. I work with anyone residing outside of LA County.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

The first session is to complete any paperwork, go over privacy and HIPPA practices, and to get an understanding of expectations from therapy and basic understanding of client issues.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have my own lived experience that gives me empathy and deep understanding of certain issues. I love what I do and helping clients achieve their goals.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I like working with individuals who benefit from talk therapy and are open to a new perspective. My focus in school was adulthood and aging. Every client is unique and I am grateful for the experience to work with many different populations. My ideal client is punctual and consistent. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is very important and needs to be treated with mutual respect.

My treatment methods

Psychoanalytic

I worked with clients for several years looking at how their past is currently influencing their present and working on accepting or at least understanding their past to help create a better and more enjoyable present.

Strength-Based

I believe that when working with clients, it is important to focus on strengths to help improve one's self esteem, while also overcoming life's challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have been trained in CBT and enjoy working with this modality.
