Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California. I received my Master of Social Work from California State University Bakersfield in 2020 and have been practicing for 3 years. I have dedicated the past 10 years to Community Mental Health helping individuals with severe mental health disorders/illness obtain a better quality of life.

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

The first session is called the assessment session. The first session will be focused primarily on a comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment, including identifying pertinent and relevant information and diagnosis. This session will allow assessment of the whole person and overall picture of the client versus the details of the story as the first session would not represent an individual therapy session which will follow in future sessions.

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

Growing up in Los Angeles I witnessed firsthand the need for help, as I witnessed in my surroundings violence, poverty, substance use, and social injustice. I am passionate about helping others and have been fortunate in my previous jobs to serve the communities who need it the most, the underrepresented, diverse, and disadvantage populations. I started my career in the mental health field many years ago as a case manager and got to see and witness the change that can occur simply by listening and having genuine compassion. I truly enjoy working with those in need, putting the client first, demonstrating empathy, compassion and believing in the client and our work as a team.
