Hello! I am a License Clinical Social Worker based in California. I received my Master of Social Work from California State University Long Beach. I received my BA in Psychology degree from California Stated University Fullerton. I have been practicing mental health counseling for 17 years. I help adolescents, adults and older adults struggling with careers, stress and burnout, traumatic life events, experiencing depression and anxiety to be able to function as normal as they can be.
In our first session together, we’ll start to a brief introduction to build rapport. Once you are comfortable, then we dive into specific challenges you’re experiencing. This will be help me determine the type of treatment modalities we can use.
Having worked with different backgrounds, socio economic status, and life experiences. I have experienced what the clients goes thru the therapeutic process.
I like working with different populations as I have been working with them all throughout my career.
