Hello! I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) and bicultural Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in the Bay Area of California. I see clients both in person in San Francisco and virtually throughout the state. I enjoy working with people of all ages and believe in the power of the therapist-client relationship. Once a connection, rapport and trust are established, I believe the work can begin.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we'll spend time getting to know each other, identifying what brings you to therapy, your overarching goals and your strengths.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I believe that my greatest strengths as a provider are my genuine caring nature, my commitment to helping you understand yourself, and the insights I have into brain science
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with adolescents and adults who are seeking to learn about themselves, improve their self-image, and grow relationships both with themselves and others. I find that clients who put in work outside of the therapy session are the most successful.
