"Vulnerability is not a sign of weakness. It's a sign of strength, resilience and compassion for oneself." Greetings, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California. I received my Masters from California State University San Bernardino and have been practicing for over 5 years.

I enjoy helping individuals unlock strengths and maximize living their life to its full potential.

I enjoy helping individuals unlock strengths and maximize living their life to its full potential. There is no one size fits all, I incorporate therapeutic methods tailored to meet your unique goals.

First session

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Strengths

Having been working with individuals for over 5 years I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.

Ideal clients

I enjoy working with individuals who are looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or just ready to move in a new direction in your life. My clients often feel overwhelmed, anxious or stuck and need assistance in gaining the proper tools or unveiling blocked strengths.

Treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have been using CBT in practice for the past 5 years. I have helped many individuals challenge negative thoughts and learn self-help strategies. We will use complementary therapy approaches and techniques to explore negative perception patterns and use that knowledge to change how you see and react to things outside your control.

I continue to have great sessions with Jamila. She is a great listener and encourages me to try new ways to help myself. Her techniques are doable. She also drops major gems so, I always have my journal ready to take notes during our sessions.
