I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of Sana Counseling & Wellness Services LLC. I have a decade of experience in the mental health field and specialize in providing evidence-based therapy approaches to help women and girls overcome anxiety, depression, trauma, and other life stressors. I have a passion for leveraging both my education and clinical experience to support my clients in reaching their goals. I have a wide range of experience working across the lifespan with individuals, groups, and families with a variety of challenges.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I believe that the relationship between a client and their therapist is fundamental to making the progress they want to see and I approach treatment as a partnership. I strive to create a safe space filled with empathy, trust, and mutual respect. In our first session together, we'll start building our partnership simply by getting to know each other and diving into the specific challenges you're facing. My goal is to get to know you and develop a clear understanding of who you are, what brings you to treatment, and how I can support you. Together we will create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. Let's work together to shed the weight of expectations, pressure, and shame and get you where you want to be.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I do not believe in a "one size fits all" approach to therapy and am committed to working with my clients to tailor treatment to their individual needs, goals, and personality. I use a blend of traditional, holistic, & evidence-based practices to help clients work through problems, learn healthy coping skills, and get to know themselves better. I invite you to take a leap in beginning our journey together towards building a more fulfilling, balanced, and authentic life by scheduling an appointment with me.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love helping women reach their goals and am here to support and empower them in unburdening themselves of unhelpful and limiting thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. My clients often come to me stressed, burnt out, and overwhelmed with all of the "shoulds" in their lives. Things they "should" be doing, goals and milestones they "should" be accomplishing, and disappointment in themselves for not functioning the way they "should" be. These thought patterns often lead to anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and overall dissatisfaction in their relationships and daily lives. Clients will leave our sessions not only feeling validated, supported, and empowered to make necessary changes but that they have the tools to do so.
