About

Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of California. I have been a therapist for about 10 years and in private practice for 6 years. I am very passionate about the work I do in supporting people in their journey to wellness. My approach is to meet you where you are and walk with you side by side to help you reach your therapeutic goals. I provide individual and family therapy services via video sessions. My specialties include working with children, teens, and adults who struggle with anxiety, addiction, depression and PTSD. I am bilingual in English and Spanish. My clinical approach usually includes CBT, psychodynamic therapy, and Trauma-Informed Therapy. I look forward to partnering with you in your journey to wellness!
