As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with years of experience in diverse settings, I have assisted individuals navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, and more. Through a client-centered, collaborative process rooted in authenticity and respect, we will work together to explore your thoughts, feelings, and concerns.
My approach
My approach to therapy is grounded in a non-judgmental and respectful stance. I believe in collaborating with you to identify and enhance your existing strengths, coping skills, resources, and support systems. Together, we will focus on helping you navigate life's stressors, improve relationships, and enhance your overall quality of life.
My focus
I work with individuals, including adolescents and teens ages 13-17. I am experienced in assisting with a range of concerns, including coping skills, anger management, behavioral issues, cultural stress, depression, emotional disturbance, family conflict, job stress, life transitions, self-harming, peer relationships, trauma, grief, self-esteem, domestic violence, and panic attacks.
My communication style
My communication style is warm, authentic, and focused on creating a safe space for you to openly express yourself. I am fluent in both English and Spanish, allowing me to serve a diverse client population.
My journey to mental healthcare
My journey to mental healthcare began with a Master's in Social Work with an emphasis in Psychology and a minor in Criminology. I gained extensive clinical experience at various locations, including Aria Community Health Center, Camarena Health, Madera County Department of Behavioral Health, and Kings View Corporation, where I honed my skills in providing compassionate care.
My goals for you
My goal is to empower you with the tools and insights needed to overcome challenges, build resilience, and lead a more fulfilling life. Through our work together, I aim to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself, strengthen your relationships, and cultivate a greater sense of well-being.
My first session with you
In our first session, we will focus on building a strong therapeutic alliance based on trust and understanding. I will listen attentively to your story, gather relevant information, and collaborate with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your unique needs and goals. This session will lay the foundation for our work together as we embark on your journey toward healing and growth.
