Hi! My name is Esther and I am a LCSW in the state of California. I graduated with my MSW at California State University of Monterey Bay. I have been practicing therapy for 10 plus years. I specialize in trauma informed care and those with a severe mental illness.

I support individuals find grace for themselves and harmony in their life by addressing burn out, confidence issues, anxiety, depression and other life factors.

First session

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions. Space is allowed to get to know each other and build trust. I am very flexible and allow the client to determine the tempo of session we can go as slow as jump right into, whatever makes you feel more comfortable. This helps me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Strengths

Having worked with young professionals, families and children for the past 10 years, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress. Although I am direct and focused on solutions space is available to process emotions and to be vulnerable without judgement.

Ideal clients

I specialize in providing trauma-informed therapy to children, adolescents, and adults who have experienced trauma and other adverse life events. I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and supportive environment where clients feel empowered to process difficult experiences, develop healthy coping strategies, and build resilience. Using evidence-based, strengths-based approaches, I help clients heal from the emotional impact of trauma, regain a sense of safety and control, and work toward lasting emotional well-being and meaningful personal growth.

Treatment methods

Eclectic

Everyone is unique and experiences things differently. No one model can be used on an individual for each circumstance. My form of therapy adapts to each individual and meets the person where they are at

Today was our first meeting and I could not have asked for it to go better. For someone who has been very wronged by other therapists, Esther made it easy to open up in the first session. I even thanked her at the end of the session for treating me like a human and not a study subject. TY Esther! See you soon!
