LCSW, 10 years of experience
Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California. I received my Masters from the University of Southern California (USC) emphasis in Mental Health and Military Social Work. I have been practicing for 7 years. I help US Military Service Members and Veteran's struggling with adjusting to civilian life, PTSD, Depression, Anxiety and Anger Management skills. The military teaches structure and purpose everyday. You know what you have to do, where you have to be and when you have to be there and going to waking up as a civilian to “what do I do now” can be a struggle. This is where I can help with the transition to civilian life.
In our first session together, we'll start with introductions, then discuss specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Direct, bi-lingual, open minded and judgement free. I'm not here to lie to you and I expect the same from my clients. Being direct and honest with each other will help build a healthy professional therapeutic relationship.
I love working with Veterans. It is a population that is dear to me and that I am also a member of, being a veteran. Coming home, adjusting to civilian life is not a transition that can be done easily all the time. Many struggle from the lack of structure and tools needed to engage a healthy stable transition into a new chapter of life.
Learning how to focus on today; the here and now in the moment and identify stressors to make life manageable.
Learn to stop, avoid and struggle with difficult emotions. Instead learning to accept emotions as an approbate response to certain situations and prevent them from impacting your life moving forward.

Me siento muy agusto con Jose, tiene muchas formas de hacerme ver las cosas en caso de que algo no entienda. Me da la confianza para poder expresarme de todo lo que necesito.
