About My Clients

I work with individuals and families facing anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My ideal client seeks support in navigating emotions, improving communication, and building resilience. I provide a warm, culturally competent space for adults, seniors, and diverse communities. Whether managing stress, grief, or personal growth, I tailor therapy to your needs, empowering you with tools for healing and lasting change.

My Background and Approach

With over 20 years of experience as a clinical and administrative social worker, I specialize in mental health, addiction, trauma, and crisis intervention. I am a culturally competent, bilingual therapist, offering a warm, non-judgmental space for healing. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, and mindfulness, I help clients develop coping strategies, improve relationships, and gain emotional resilience. My expertise in treating anxiety, depression, addiction, and life transitions allows me to tailor therapy to each client’s unique needs. Whether you're struggling with stress, grief, or personal growth, I am here to support and empower you. My goal is to help you build self-awareness, strengthen coping skills, and create meaningful change for a healthier, more fulfilling life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Whatever feelings or difficulty you are experiencing that that have brought you to your current standing position, I hope to help you to gain insight to the following: relationship dynamics, gain more effective communication tools, conflict identification/management, gain accountability, explore areas of vulnerability, clarify expectations, identify triggers, enhance decision making process and problem solving skills. The process will not be linear but the journey will provide you with skills, connections and inner growth.
