Not currently accepting patients

Hi there, I'm Otilia!

As a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience, I am dedicated to helping you understand yourself on a deeper level and make important changes in your life. My background spans community mental health, social services, and case management in the medical sector.

My approach

I tailor my approach to each individual's needs, drawing primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Strength-Based, and Solution-Focused Treatment. My aim is to help you process your experiences, develop mindfulness and insight, and foster personal growth. Together we will develop coping strategies you can apply to everyday life.

My focus

I work with a wide range of clients, from children as young as 5 to older adults dealing with geriatric and end-of-life issues. I treat general mood disorders such as Depression, Anxiety, and Adjustment Disorders. I also have experience with adolescents, life transitions, and parent-child relationship problems.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, empathetic, and collaborative. I listen closely to understand your unique experiences and tailor our discussions to your needs. Through open and supportive dialogue, we'll work together to help you gain insight, develop effective coping strategies, and make positive changes in your life.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey in mental healthcare began with a Bachelor of Arts from UC Santa Barbara, where I double majored in Spanish and Psychology. I went on to obtain my Master's in Social Work from Cal State LA, with a focus on Older Adults. I completed my clinical hours for licensure at The Help Group in Van Nuys from 2010-2012.

My goals for you

As your clinician, my goal is to provide a supportive space for you to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, develop effective coping tools, and make positive changes aligned with your values and aspirations. I am committed to helping you build resilience and find fulfillment.
