As a licensed clinical social worker, I am dedicated to creating a judgment-free space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to improve their overall quality of life. With experience working with children, teens, and adults in various settings, I strive to collaborate with clients to help them achieve meaningful change.
My approach
My therapeutic approach draws from several evidence-based practices such as CBITS and CBT, as well as various social work theories. I tailor my approach to each client's unique needs, aiming to provide the most effective support for their journey toward mental and emotional wellness.
My focus
I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and their parents, addressing a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, loss, behavioral issues, school issues, and peer relationships. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment for individuals to process their experiences and develop healthy coping skills.
My communication style
I believe in open, honest communication and building a strong therapeutic alliance with my clients. I strive to create a collaborative relationship where clients feel heard, validated, and empowered to make positive changes in their lives.
My journey to mental healthcare
My journey to mental healthcare began with a deep passion for helping others. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from California State University, Long Beach, driven by a desire to make a difference in people's lives. Through my clinical training and experience at organizations like Tessie Cleveland Community Services and LAUSD, I developed the skills and expertise to support individuals facing various mental health challenges.
My goals for you
My ultimate goal for you is to help you achieve your therapeutic objectives and improve your overall quality of life. Whether it's developing effective coping strategies, processing past traumas, or navigating life transitions, I am committed to providing you with the tools and support you need to thrive.
My first session with you
In our first session, we will focus on getting to know each other and establishing a strong foundation for our therapeutic relationship. I will listen to your concerns, assess your needs, and work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan aligned with your goals. This initial meeting is an opportunity for you to ask questions, express your expectations, and begin your journey toward healing and growth.
