LCSW, 15 years of experience
Hi, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 15 years of experience in the mental health profession. My career began after being certified as a addiction specialist from UCLA extension program. I help individuals dealing with Addiction and Recovery, Depression, Anxiety, and Older adults and Caregivers for family members with Dementia and other diagnosis. In my approach I try to integrate a variety of therapeutic approaches and personalized to each client for an effective treatment.
The first session is a a brief introduction, get to know each other, feel if we are the right fit to work together, and collaborate on treatments that target your personal situation in follow up sessions.
I am easy to talk to and my approach is creating a safe and non-judgmental space for you, so we can work on improving your life.
I love working with adults who are experiencing challenges and would like to improve their situation. My clients are open to change and ready to improve their lives. We collaborate on tools needed to improve their specific situation. They often feel stress, overwhelmed or stuck about their situation.
I utilized Cognitive Behavioral techniques to help clients identify challenging and unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. I provide tools to improve coping and mood, and collaborate on treatment.
