I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been working as a therapist for over 15 years in different settings. My experience includes working with children, traumatic brain injury patients, adolescents, and adults in a variety of settings in the community, including a variety of diagnoses. My therapeutic style is centered on respect and compassion. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship issues.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
I believe my biggest strengths are providing a safe space for my clients, providing a non-judgmental environment, trust and respect for others.
I love working with adolescents to elderly population. (Ages 15-100).
Supportive
I create a safe space for clients in which I offer encouragement, validation and self-efficacy. I assist clients work through current and past issues and help clients use their strengths and develop adaptive strategies.

She really listened to me and asked thoughtful questions that allowed me to open up. I look forward to more sessions with her. I felt she offered a very warm and welcoming space to allow me to be vulnerable. Thank you!

This week I will have known Perla for a year and I’m so grateful I found someone who is a good listener and who challenges you to ask yourself why you think certain ways and helps you see it differently. I had felt hopeless and alone and together she helped me realize self love. She is great at drawing you out, remembering ALL the details, and helping you find your balance!
