Hi! I'm Darla, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker working with clients throughout the state of California providing both in person and telehealth services. I have been working in the field of mental health for over 20 years. I currently work with clients age 18 years and older with a focus on those struggling with anxiety, depression, and other areas causing stress.
Your relationship with your therapist is one of the most important aspects of therapy and I work to create a safe environment, listening to your needs, moving at your pace. The first session is about us getting to know each other; building a sense of connection for working together. I’ll ask questions to better understand what brings you to therapy, how you’re feeling now and over the past few weeks, how you’re dealing with your concerns, and what your goals are for participating in therapy.
My style is described as warm, non-judgmental, humorous and inquisitive.
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I am a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP) and use CBT to understand how our thoughts link to our feelings and behaviors

Darla helps me deal with and accept who I am. She really sees me and empowers me so that I can help myself when I am not with her. I am so grateful to her. She has enhanced my life. I never thought I would get so much out of sharing my issues with another person. I look forward to seeing her. I know I can tell her anything and she won't pass judgement on me. She is a gift.
