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).

Perla made me feel so at ease to open up to her. She gave me the opportunity to speak about my issues without feeling judged or rushed. I appreciate that being that therapy is new to me.
