Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile. I’m a licensed clinical social worker based in Grand Terrace, California, with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges. My work focuses on helping people navigate the effects of depression, anxiety, chronic illness, trauma, and grief. I offer compassionate, evidence-based therapy to individuals, families, and groups, both in-person and through secure online sessions. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where healing and growth can take place.

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

In our first session together, we’ll begin with brief introductions to help establish a comfortable and supportive connection. We’ll then explore the specific challenges you’re facing and review the paperwork you completed beforehand. This initial conversation allows me to better understand your needs and begin crafting a personalized treatment plan that will guide our work in future sessions.

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

I am committed to empowering my clients by creating a compassionate, supportive space where they can safely explore their emotions and take meaningful steps toward healing and personal growth. My holistic approach to therapy recognizes the vital connection between mental and physical well-being, emphasizing the importance of treating the whole person to enhance overall quality of life.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I am deeply passionate about supporting clients as they navigate the challenges of depression, anxiety, chronic illness, grief, and trauma. Drawing from a range of evidence-based approaches—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Strength-Based Therapy—I tailor each session to meet the unique needs, strengths, and goals of every individual I work with. My aim is to foster a collaborative, empowering therapeutic environment where meaningful change can occur.
