Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California, Texas, and Florida. I graduated from University of Southern California and have been working in mental health for the past 11 years. I enjoy working with people in all phases of their lives to maximize their well-being and potential in their personal and professional lives. I have specialized training in military culture and concerns and am well-versed in the systems, challenges, and rewards experienced by our active-duty service members, veterans, and their families.

First session

In our first session together, we'll spend some time on brief housekeeping items and expectations. After that, I will work to get to know you and your goals so we can develop a plan together that helps you on the path to achieving your goals and ultimate wellness.

Strengths

Having worked with a variety of people from different cultural backgrounds and experiences has made me especially attuned to finding out what influences my clients' lives and how they can best achieve their goals in a way that honors who they are and where they come from.

Ideal clients

I love working with people who are motivated to make positive changes in their lives! I am here to walk with you through every step of the process as a partner in the realization of your best self. I work well with individuals who are willing to examine how their past influences their current circumstances while building on the strengths you already have.

Treatment methods

Eclectic

I take a personalized approach to each client. Once I get to know you and your unique situation and needs, I work with you to create an approach that best suits you. This approach can include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, or any approach that best serves you and your goals.

There were a lot of emotions that were brought up in this session and Chari' held space for me to talk about those emotions in depth by asking me questions to better understand why. She has been giving me tools and resources outside of our session for me to conceptualize how I'm feeling, which have been very helpful.
