Hi there, I'm Virna!

A Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Southern California. I have worked with individuals with a variety of mental health symptoms related to anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, and have specialized in crisis intervention.

My focus

I have gained clinical experience working with individuals of all ages, capacities, and backgrounds. I am truly honored to work with anyone willing to accomplish goals towards getting to know themselves and improving their mental health.

My approach

My approach to therapy is dependent on my client's unique needs. I use a client-centered approach when working with individuals of diverse backgrounds to meet them where they are in their therapy journey. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and other approaches, I tailor each treatment to best meet my client's needs.

My communication style

I describe myself as calm and truly an active listener. My goal is to provide a nonjudgmental space for individuals of all backgrounds and beliefs for them to feel safe and supported.

My journey to mental healthcare

As a bicultural, bilingual therapist, I have learned that if you stay genuine to yourself, the journey is easier. I became a therapist because I wanted to support people's unique journeys in life and find the best ways to help. I enjoy what I do, and it is always an honor when clients allow me to be part of their journey.

My goals for you

I am a believer in working collaboratively when setting goals with each individual. Goals are an important piece of the therapy process, and I tailor them to my client's individual needs.

Our first session

What you can expect in our first session is to welcome you with transparency, discuss your goals for treatment, and collaborate on the best approach to reaching those goals. The first session would be an opportunity to get to know each other and begin building a relationship in the therapeutic journey.
