As an LCSW with 7 years of experience, I am deeply committed to providing a safe, compassionate, and supportive space for clients to explore their emotions and navigate challenging life situations. With a Master’s degree from USC, I bring both professional expertise and a heartfelt, client-centered approach to therapy. My goal is to help you process past experiences, develop healthy coping strategies, and foster personal growth, so you can find healing and move forward with confidence. Together, we can work toward creating meaningful and lasting change in your life.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In your first session with me, you can expect a warm, welcoming, and confidential environment where you can feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings. We’ll begin by discussing your reasons for seeking therapy, your goals, and any current challenges you’re facing. I’ll ask questions to understand your history, your strengths, and what’s most important to you in your healing or personal growth journey. Together, we’ll start to explore ways to approach your concerns and develop a plan for moving forward. The first session is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions about the process, the types of therapy I use, and how we can best work together to meet your needs. My goal is to ensure that you feel heard, understood, and supported as we begin building a partnership for your mental health and well-being.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I believe my greatest strengths as a provider lie in my empathy, ability to build trust, and the depth of my therapeutic knowledge. With seven years of experience, I’m skilled at creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel truly heard and supported. I am particularly adept at tailoring therapy to fit each individual’s needs, drawing from evidence-based modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and mindfulness practices to help clients make meaningful progress. My ability to connect with clients from diverse backgrounds is another strength—I value cultural sensitivity and work hard to meet clients where they are in their unique journeys. I also bring a solution-focused approach, helping clients not only understand their challenges but also identify practical tools and strategies for overcoming them. Ultimately, I’m committed to walking alongside my clients as they heal and grow, empowering them to make lasting changes in their lives.
