I'm so glad you're here
It's nice to virtually meet you.
Hi there,
As a licensed clinical social worker, I bring a rich tapestry of personal and professional experiences to my practice. I was born in Mexico, raised in Los Angeles, and I am fluent in both English and Spanish. My experiences include working with a diverse range of clients facing neurological and psychological disorders, emotional challenges, behavioral issues, substance abuse, and developmental hurdles.
I specialize in assisting adults navigating difficult life transitions, setting boundaries, attention to self-care, anxiety, and trauma, always emphasizing a strengths-based approach in treatment planning, tailored to each client's unique background and needs. I offer a unique blend of directness, patience, and a touch of humor when needed to create a comfortable and productive space for healing and growth.

My Approach
At the heart of my therapeutic approach lies a commitment to active listening and unwavering curiosity, ensuring that each client feels truly understood, seen, and heard. I cultivate an atmosphere that is both down-to-earth and direct, where I balance warmth with authenticity and welcome the humor and joy that frequently surface in the process of self-discovery. I employ an eclectic approach, drawing from a range of therapeutic modalities, with a strong emphasis on trauma-informed practices.
In our collaborative journey, we begin by exploring your personal history and identifying your therapy goals, which will guide our work together as we delve into the emotions and challenges you face. Through understanding ourselves and our experiences, we gain valuable insights that facilitate true healing. We then focus on practical skill-building, equipping you with the tools to face the future with calm, understanding, and confidence.
