Hi! I am an Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Southern California. I received my masters from California Baptist University and have been practicing for 8 years. I began my experience in a county jail, transitioned to a state prison, and most recently worked with the Psychiatric Emergency Response Team (PERT) in San Diego County. I find fulfillment in working with adults who have diverse concerns and needs. Through my experience, I've discovered particular fulfillment in supporting individuals grappling with burnout, feelings of hopelessness, and overwhelming emotions.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our initial session, we'll begin with brief introductions, followed by an exploration of the specific challenges you're encountering as well as a bit about your past. This initial assessment will provide valuable insights to craft a personalized plan for our subsequent sessions, ensuring focused and effective support tailored to your needs and desires.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
In my experience, I've honed a therapeutic style that honors my clients' thoughts, beliefs, and aspirations while also encouraging progress towards a happier and healthier life. Continuously assessing for changes, I seamlessly adapt treatment plans as needed. I approach therapy with a candid, yet supportive stance, likening it to physical therapy where some sessions leave you feeling rejuvenated and agile, while others may leave you feeling a bit sore. Ultimately, my goal is to guide you towards lasting growth and fulfillment.
