Hola! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California. As a BIPOC therapist, I’m here to walk alongside you through the unique challenges and stressors life can bring. I understand how past relationships, traumas, and anxieties can sit heavily with you, shaping how you feel at work, in your relationships, and in your sense of self. My goal is to offer a space where you feel safe, seen, supported, and understood as we work together toward healing and resilience. También ofrezco sesiones en Español para quienes se sientan más cómodos expresándose en este idioma.
My clients can expect a collaborative, compassionate, and safe therapeutic experience. I offer a non‑judgmental, confidential space where you can share your thoughts, feelings, and emotions freely and at your own pace. Together, we’ll explore what you’re hoping to gain from therapy and take time to understand your background so we can shape each session around your unique needs.
I bring a deep sense of empathy and compassion to my work, which allows me to connect with clients in a meaningful and authentic way. This creates a nurturing space where you can open up and move through your healing at a pace that feels right for you.
My ideal clients are those who feel ready to engage in the therapeutic process with openness and curiosity. They’re interested in exploring themselves more deeply and are motivated to create meaningful shifts in their lives. Many come from diverse backgrounds and bring their own stories, identities, and lived experiences, all of which I deeply value and respect. Together, we can cultivate a safe and supportive space where you feel empowered to grow, heal, and thrive.

Every session with Virginia has me feeling grounded and prepared to face the challenges in life. She's very compassionate and validating, but doesn't shy away from challenging me when I need it.
