Great to meet you!

Hi, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 15 years of experience working with individuals that are dealing with mental health issues from birth to end-of-life. I have experience providing services to help those facing trauma, depression, anxiety, grief/loss, anger, parenting support, men’s mental health issues, and various other presenting problems. I have experience working with children, adults, and families in both English and Spanish.

My approach to therapy

As a mindset therapist, I like to introduce skills that help my clients become aware of current thoughts, introduce mindfulness into their journey, and shape future perspectives as they work though their trauma experiences, parenting, and self-work. I am trained in EMDR, TF-CBT, DBT, Triple P, and AF-CBT and my approach is always to focus on helping you re-discover and work toward the version that you want to work on obtaining.

What you can expect from me

My goal is to introduce a space that feels safe and inviting for you to share both your strengths and areas of growth. My goal for you is to be authentic and re-discover the importance of listening to your true self.
