Great to meet you!

I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) offering therapy services via Telehealth and based in Southern California. My approach to therapy is one that includes a collaborative effort between you and me to ensure that you receive the most appropriate treatment. I have been in this field for fourteen years and have provided services to children, adolescents, and adults.

My therapeutic style includes one that is empathetic, compassionate, and non-judgmental. My goal is to establish a good rapport and to set a strong foundation that will benefit the course of your treatment. I utilize different theoretical approaches, including person-centered, narrative, and solution-focused therapy.
