Great to meet you!

Hola! I'm a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in So Cal. I have been practicing for about 4 years and my clinical experience includes collaborative work with children, adolescents, adults, and families who have high-intensity needs—whether they are dealing with complex trauma, significant emotional dysregulation, cultural and societal pressures, or severe mental health conditions.

My approach to therapy

My work with clients involves building trust, providing a safe space, and utilizing interventions that are designed to help clients manage their emotional distress, regulate their behavior, and work toward long-term change. The modalities I often implement include TFCBT, Psychodynamic, and Solution Focused Brief Treatment. It would be both an honor and a privilege to accompany you on this part of your journey.

What you can expect from me

I use the strengths-based approach not only to foster hope and self-efficacy but also encourage a collaborative, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship where you will feel seen for who you are, rather than just your challenges. I will be patient with you to allow you to make change at your own pace. At the same time, challenging you gently and with respect can push you beyond your comfort zones and help you confront limiting beliefs or behaviors that may be holding you back.
