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.
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.
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.
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.
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
