Hello! I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in California. I received my Masters from California State University, Fullerton and have been practicing for 10 years. I have experience working in community mental health, schools, private practice and in the hospital setting. I love working and helping underserved communities and I have experience serving different ages and demographics. I am a huge believer that therapy can help heal.
In our first session together, we will start by introducing ourselves and clarifying what to expect in therapy. I know it can be a nervous start, but I will reassure you that this is a safe place and I am here for you. We will then embark in the journey together to explore the difficulties you're facing. We will work collaboratively to create treament goals and work on them during our journey together.
As a provider I find that my greatest strength is being able to be honest and caring. I approach everyone in a caring and professional way knowing that coming to therapy is a brave step. I also use our theraputic alliance as a way to have a true experiential opportunity to be able to pull out the inner strengths that is already there and find different ways to navigate the difficulties being faced. I am hihgly able to adapt and use different therapy models to address each unique person that I am allowed the priviledge to work with.
I love helping and I have a passion to serve those in need. I come with a diverse experience and I have been able to see growth and change for those who are ready to embark in the journey together. Every small change makes a difference!
I believe that being culturally sensitive is important and I use it in sessions to help facilitate healing by bringing in different elements that makes an individual.
I have used CBT for several years and I have used it to help break down negative thinking thoughts and empower to shift thinking to a more positive one.
I have several years using psychodynamic and processing childhood experiences and help heal the inner child.
I have several years, being able to adapt and uniquely address everyone by tailoring to their needs and using the appropriate modality to help in their healing journey.
