Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California, with 10 years of experience. I specialize in supporting women through various life stages, including pre-conception, perinatal, postpartum, parenting, first generation, and other major life transitions. My expertise lies in mood disorders like depression, anxiety, and PMADs, as well as reproductive grief (infertility, miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal loss). I also assist with parenting children facing behavioral challenges and offer guidance on relationship issues and communication. I provide telehealth visits and nature therapy sessions.
In our initial session, we'll introduce ourselves briefly and delve into the specific issues you're encountering. This will guide the creation of a personalized plan for our subsequent sessions, ensuring focus on working towards the goals you want to achieve.
As a maternal mental health therapist, I focus in patient-centered, trauma-informed, evidence-based care with cultural humility and a holistic approach. I create safe spaces for clients to share, tailor treatment plans using modalities like CBT, DBT, Mindfullness, Grief Therapy, and ACT for effective symptom management and recovery. I prioritize understanding diverse backgrounds and integrating cultural sensitivity into therapy. Additionally, I address mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being, collaborating with clients on nutrition, exercise, social support, and self-care practices. My commitment to these principles empowers individuals on their healing journey.
CBT: Empowering women to reframe thoughts, manage emotions, and achieve mental wellness.

Experience with all types of grief, including pregnancy & reproductive losses.
