I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California with over 5 years of experience working in social work providing advocacy and therapy. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, and low self esteem. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My therapy style is building trust and focusing on client centered goals. I believe in advocating for every client to reach their personal goals. Therapy should give every client the opportunity to self discover, challenge their thoughts and move them towards the best version of themselves. My approach combines solution focused, cognitive-behavioral, humanistic and psychodynamic therapy.
The greatest phenomenon is the human experience. I believe life is a process of moving forward even when we sometimes fall backwards. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards wholeness.
I look forward to working with you!
