As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over a decade of experience, I am dedicated to helping my clients restore hope and optimism in their lives. My goal is to empower you to make the positive changes you desire to improve your well-being and life satisfaction.
My approach
I believe in working in close partnership with my clients to develop a consistent treatment plan focused on your specific goals and desired outcomes. My approach draws from a range of therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), family therapy, play therapy, and more. I tailor my methods to best fit your unique needs and situation.
My focus
I work with individuals of all ages, from adolescents to adults, as well as couples and families. Some of the issues I specialize in include anger management, substance use, behavioral and school issues, relationship problems, grief, trauma, abuse, cultural stress, gender identity, and life transitions. I also provide career counseling and life coaching.
My communication style
You can expect me to be an attentive, non-judgmental listener who creates a safe, supportive space for you to share openly. I will offer caring guidance while also empowering you with practical strategies and coping skills. Our work together will be collaborative, culturally sensitive, and always focused on your needs and goals.
My journey to mental healthcare
I was drawn to a career in mental healthcare out of a deep desire to help others overcome challenges and live fulfilling lives. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from California State University, San Bernardino. I then completed several years of supervised clinical hours before obtaining my LCSW license, dedicating myself to providing the highest quality of care.
My goals for you
My ultimate goals are to help you gain fresh insights and perspectives, build on your inner strengths and resources, and make meaningful, lasting changes to enhance your life and relationships. I want to equip you with the understanding and tools to not only resolve current issues but also navigate future challenges with greater resilience and confidence.
My first session with you
In our first session, I will focus on getting to know you, understanding your reasons for seeking therapy, and learning about your background, concerns, and hopes. We'll begin to formulate a treatment plan aligned with your goals. Most importantly, I want you to feel heard, validated, and to have a clear sense of how we can work together to help you thrive. I look forward to beginning this journey with you!
