I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in working with adolescent youth and their families. I am trained in various Evidence Based Practices such as Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT). I graduated from California State University- Long Beach for my udergraduate studies, and earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Southern California.
I approach therapy with an open mind. This is the patient's journey, and I am here to guide them through processing trauma, experiences, thoughts, and feelings by providing a safe and secure environment.
Our first session is usually the introductory session where the patient and the therapist will get to know each other to build rapport and trust, discuss the reason the patient is coming to therapy, and collaborate on a treatment plan and set treatment goals for sessions.
