Licensed to practice in California and accepts 56 insurances. Specializes in Addiction, Anxiety, Military/Veterans and 10 more.
I am an LCSW from CA. I am a rarity, as I was born and raised in Los Angeles and have lived all over southern California. I have also traveled throughout the state and known how the state is unique. I have experience working with the military, Veterans, and their families. I also have experience working with families and children of all ages. I have experienced working with mental health, chronic pain and cancer. This therapist only treats low to moderate clients. If you need therapy for court, I may not be a good fit for you. I will not be providing session notes to the court on your behalf. Also depending on what the nature of court is/why you need treatment, may not go beyond the initial assessment/first visit. If I do not feel comfortable with the reason, nature of court or any of anything along those lines; I will not be moving forward. I feel that I need to be direct with this as I have already provided previously "if you are seeking services for court; I would NOT be able to help with that. Please find another provider." Yet I am still receiving these referrals; therefore I am being direct about this and what expectations are. My journey to mental healthcare I did a lot of volunteer work and held a few AmeriCorps positions (America's version of PeaceCorps). I fell in love with helping people and I was told in order to achieve this, I would need to go back to school and complete my MSW.
My goals for you We come up with a treatment plan and start where you are at. We go at your pace. My first session with you The first session would be to create rapport for me to get to know you and what your concerns are and/or what you want to work on. If it is for court, would depend on several factors; to go beyond the initial assessment/first session. However I will not write letters for court (this platform will provide information through); so if that is what you are seeking, I am not the provider for you. If what the platform offers is not good enough, you would have to seek another provider.
My communication style I am empathic and I assist. I am also direct. If you are rude or cross the line, not only will it be documented on your chart but I will report it to the platform.
I have experience with individuals experiencing Anxiety, Depression, PTSD; as well as panic attacks. I have experience working with children, teens and adults. I have worked at an elementary school and working with military children (4-18 years old). I also have experience with grief (children and adults) and parenting concerns. I also have experience working with Active Duty, Veterans and their families and caregivers.

Estelle is attentive and relatable. Even with my rambling she was able to hone into what I’m looking to get out of therapy. Excited to have her motivate me to nail down a job!
