I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker born, raised, and based in the Los Angeles, CA area.
I support and treat individuals with mental health challenges.
First session
In our first session together, we will begin with brief introductions, and then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. Questions will be asked to better understand how various factors (biological, psychological, social) impact your mental health and overall functioning. We will collaboratively create a tailored plan to work through in follow up sessions.
Strengths
Clients of all ages and cultural backgrounds have shared that they experience a sense of comfort and safety as we work together. I am able to maintain warmth and compassion, while challenging my clients through a process that is not always comfortable.
Ideal clients
I have over 11 years of clinical experience providing therapy to clients across the lifespan. I have the most success working with individuals ranging from teen to the aging population, in areas including but not limited to anxiety and depression management, post-traumatic stress, self esteem issues, and difficulty adjusting to life transitions.
Treatment methods
Eclectic
I apply techniques from a variety of therapeutic approaches to best fit the client's unique needs. I pull from my expertise in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, etc.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
I strive to ensure clients feel seen and validated in their own cultural identities, both during and between therapy sessions. I acknowledge the variety of complex factors that contribute to mental health challenges.
Trauma-Informed Care
I tailor therapeutic interventions in the context of a client's unique trauma history, triggers, and specific needs. Our sessions emphasize safety, collaboration, and empowerment.
