I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Southern California that embarked on my career as a therapist starting in 2018. Since then, I've graduated from the University of Southern California in August of 2019 and have extensive training in Gestalt & Relational Therapy. I have also been trained to practice somatic modalities of Trauma Resilience Model and Brainspotting, which has prepared me to facilitate therapy groups that address trauma through teaching the importance of self-care.
Our first session will comprise of getting to know each other in which I will inquire about the following: what brings you to therapy, what are your strengths/challenges, and how we can best work together.
Since supporting individuals, couples, and groups since 2018, my greatest contributions to facilitate healing include: active-listening, empathy, compassion, conceptualizing, empowerment, accountability, awareness, and culture.
I believe that each person is an expert of their own experiences, and for the past 6 years I support each client by meeting them where they are to slowly unpack and process their trauma using the mind-body connection.
Promotes self-awareness by tapping into the thought processes connected to behavior. The primary goal is to dismantle societal expectations and increase your resilience zone from maladaptive behaviors such as anxiety and depression.
