In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During our first session, we will begin creating a therapeutic relationship by exploring your reason(s) for therapy. We will discuss expectations, create a treatment plan, discuss concerns, and go over information necessary for the continuation of therapy.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have 17 years of experience in the mental health field, providing services to adolescents and adults with varying degrees of mental health challenges including but not limited to depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, complex trauma, drug and alcohol addiction, grief, and co-occurring disorders. My clinical experience has allowed me the opportunity to work with a diverse range of children, adolescents, adults, couples, families, and the LGBTQ+ communities in both group and individual settings. I have been trained in various evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma focused therapy and seeking safety. My passion and desire to help others was first discovered during my teenage years. As I transitioned into my adulthood I became more intrigued with how individuals developed patterns of behavior and what drives them to make life decisions. I grew up in a culturally diverse area of Los Angeles that has allowed me the opportunity to learn how to maneuver and work with a wide variety of people. I take pride in my ability to adapt to different situations, which has allowed me to adjust to the needs of my clients and respect where they are in their journey.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with individuals who are passionate about self improvement and working through their struggles that creates obstacles in their lives. I am committed to helping those who are ready for change and willing to push past discomfort in order to reach their goals, becoming better versions of themselves.
