Licensed to practice in California and accepts 62 insurances. Specializes in Anxiety, Coping Skills, Depression and 5 more.
Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California. I received my master's from California State University Bakersfield and have been practicing for 9 years. I help adults struggling with anxiety, depression, faith, trauma, burnout, and relationships. Together we will decrease your stress and increase your peace. I am certified in motivational interviewing which is a strength-based practice that allows you to stay the expert in your life. I have additional certification in cognitive behavioral therapy which will allow you to establish problem-solving skills, adapting and adjusting negative thinking habits, and getting back to a daily routine.
In our first session together, we’ll start with introductions, and they explore specific challenge you are facing. Together we will come up with goals that you would like to accomplish during our time together. This information will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. I allow you to vent and provide you a safe place to be yourself without judgement.
For the past 9 years, I worked with people who are consider very mentally ill. A lot of clients were in and out of jail, abused drugs or experienced delusions and hallucinations. Having treated intense clients, I am able to use my knowledge to help anyone overcome any obstacle. I have seen everything and heard everything. I will treat you as an individual and tailor a specific plan to fit your needs. I will help you create the life you deserve to live.
I love working with adults that feel different and just do not quit understand why. I love working with everyday people who needs help negativing their emotions/ behaviors. Becoming the best version of yourself takes time and empathy from someone who is understanding.

I will help understand the power of your thoughts. I will help you examine how thoughts can lead to negative feelings and unpleasant behavior.
Everyone is capable of change; I help people use the strength within themselves to change their unwanted behavior.
I integrate traditional talk therapy practices with Christian belief. I am a firm believer that the bible is the roadmap on how live our lives and overcome mental health issues.
I guide people to accept the here and now without judgement.
