Hey there! I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in California, and have been working and mental health for over 15 years. I received my Masters of Social work from California State University, Sacramento. I believe in employing strength-based philosophies that help clients identify and focus on their internal strengths, to empower them in overcoming challenges, build resiliency and heal. I am a trained EMDR therapist, and a trauma specialist. I have a passion for helping individuals move through painful events and move to a place of healing and resiliency. In addition to trauma, I also specialize in mood disorders and addiction.

My treatment methods

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) can be a powerful tool in your private practice to help clients process traumatic memories and reduce the symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and other mental health issues.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely used and evidence-based approach to help clients understand and change their thought patterns and behaviors.

Strength-Based

I utilize strength-based practices by identifying and leveraging clients' inherent strengths and resources to empower them in overcoming challenges and achieving their therapy goals.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

I teach clients to employ mindfulness techniques to help them stay present, manage stress, and develop greater self-awareness and emotional regulation.

Adriana is amazing, she made me completely comfortable. She is very smart, but does not take herself too seriously as evidenced by a wonderful sense of humor, which was very important to me. She is open-minded and allows me the freedom to be completely honest with no judgment whatsoever. I knew immediately that I made the right choice!

Adriana has been my provider for over a year. She is authentic, empowering, solution oriented, funny, nice, and overall an amazing person who ACTUALLY cares about her patients and takes active steps to help them. I’ve been with her and will not change providers. She builds trust, respect, and keeps true to values. She’s amazing!
