About My Clients

I believe that every person is unique and has many strengths I can help to explore. There is no too little or two big of a problem, as long as you are willing to work on it. Together we will build a therapeutic relationship, determine the goals of the treatment, and how it can be an evocative yet transformational experience that involves the mutual participation of the client and therapist to achieve a purposeful outcome.

My Background and Approach

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 10 years of experience. I have worked in inpatient and outpatient mental health settings working with culturally diverse adults, families, and couples. I enjoy interacting with my clients and I especially find their progress in treatment to be rewarding for them as well as for me. My therapeutic approach involves developing trust that enables and empowers my clients to feel comfortable to share their feelings and vulnerabilities, identify strengths, and find the ways of managing and addressing challenges standing on the way to their goals and aspirations. I utilize eclectic approach with elements of CBT, REBT and psychodynamic therapy tailored to my clients' needs.
