Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I have been practicing for about 5 years. I graduated from Cal State Long Beach and I help clients become the best versions of themselves. I have experience in working with people who have serious mental health issues and co-occurring disorders, depression, anxiety, and grief. I believe that the client is the expert in their own lives and I am here to assist them achieve their goals in a positive way.
The first session is to complete any paperwork, go over privacy and HIPPA practices, and to get an understanding of expectations from therapy and basic understanding of client issues.
I have my own lived experience that gives me empathy and deep understanding of certain issues. I love what I do and helping clients achieve their goals.

I worked with clients for several years looking at how their past is currently influencing their present and working on accepting or at least understanding their past to help create a better and more enjoyable present.
I have worked with clients who are experiencing loss of various kinds. Grief can be overwhelming and painful and I help clients process their grief until it becomes more manageable. I use different coping skills that help in managing grief while living a meaningful life and productive life.
I believe that when working with clients, it is important to focus on strengths to help improve one's self esteem, while also overcoming life's challenges.
