LCSW, 8 years of experience
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.
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.
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
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.
I have experience in CBT for trauma, suicidality, Depression, and Anxiety
I work with all ages, however, when I work with children and teens, I believe in bringing the family system into the work when possible and clinically appropriate
I am EMDR-trained and have been providing this modality for nearly 3 years. I believe in using EMDR for trauma, Anxiety and other challenges
Psychodynamic theory is at the core of my work with clients. I believe in understanding where we came from in order to understand our present
