About My Clients

My hope is for my clients to develop healthier coping mechanisms and behaviors for a better quality of life and to feel fulfilled. I assist with the process of setting goals to motivate and encourage you to stay focused on your progress. I am here to help you reach your goals and make strides in improving your mental health and overall wellbeing. With patience and dedication to self-love and self-care you can find success on your own that lasts a lifetime!

My Background and Approach

I worked for the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health for 15 years servicing individuals with severe and persistent mental illness such as Schizophrenia, Bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, PTSD, among others. I specialize in the areas of intergenerational trauma, inner child healing, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Building a relationship based on trust, compassion, and healthy boundaries are key elements in making the therapeutic alliance successful. I use attentive listening and extend empathy, acceptance, non-judgement, and care to promote emotional healing. I am culturally aware and realize every relational encounter is unique to a person’s lived experience. I utilize cultural humility and am open to learning from my clients, which lends itself to developing a healthy therapeutic relationship.
