LCSW, 12 years of experience
I am licensed in California with 12 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, family conflicts, coping with grief and loss, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
In your first session as my client, we will establish a safe and comfortable space for open communication. We'll begin by discussing your reasons for seeking therapy and exploring your goals for our work together. I'll provide a clear overview of what to expect in therapy, including confidentiality and boundaries. Together, we'll start to build rapport and create a collaborative partnership focused on your well-being and growth.
As an LCSW, my greatest strengths lie in my ability to build strong therapeutic relationships based on empathy, compassion, and active listening. I possess a deep understanding of human behavior and mental health, allowing me to provide tailored support and guidance. My commitment to evidence-based practices ensures that I offer effective interventions while fostering a safe and supportive environment for clients to explore their challenges and achieve their goals.
As an LCSW, I find fulfillment working with individuals who are motivated to explore their challenges and committed to personal growth. Clients who possess resilience, a willingness to engage in the therapeutic process, and a desire to build healthier coping mechanisms are often ideal candidates. Additionally, I am drawn to working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and experiences, as their unique perspectives enrich the therapeutic journey for both myself and the client.
By utilizing CBT, I aim to empower clients to become their own therapists, equipping them with the tools and skills to manage their symptoms, build resilience, and achieve their goals.
