Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California, providing individual therapy to individuals that are experiencing depression, anxiety and difficulty coping with stressors. I aim to provide a safe space to explore, heal and find resolution with trauma-informed and racial justice lenses. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Somatic Experiencing interventions to aid in understanding oneself and experience embodiment/mindfulness.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I like using our first session to get to know each other. I use this time to gather information about your current challenges and biopsychosocial history. I also like to use this time to answer any of your questions about my experience and what to expect from future therapy sessions. The first session is also a great time to begin developing treatment goals.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I'm down to earth, humble and transparent. I am an active participant in therapy sessions.
