Hello!! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and earned my Master's Degree from the University of Southern California in Clinical Social Work with a sub-concentration in Military Social Work. I currently hold a certification as a Sex Therapy Informed Professional working towards full certification as a Sex Therapist for individuals and couples. I also specialize in working with clients of all ages who suffer from complex trauma and PTSD.
During our first session we will begin the process of getting to know each other while identifying reasons that have brought you to therapy and possible goals you are seeking to accomplish.
I make every effort to provide an environment each individual feels safe and comfortable while taking a person-centered approach helping clients safely process issues without judgement while utilizing their strengths to achieve their personal goals.
Strength-based therapy is a type of positive psychotherapy and counseling that focuses on your internal strengths and resourcefulness, rather than on your weaknesses, failures, and shortcomings.
It is a lens through which the therapist views their clients, taking into account the impact of trauma on emotions, regulation, and behavior.
