About My Clients
I support adults with concerns connected to depression, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, & attachment issues. I believe my clients are resilient, resourceful, and hold the capacity to change. My work with individuals incorporates a variety of evidence-based psychotherapy modalities, mind-body techniques, and cultural practices. My hope for you is an increased understanding of self, purpose, resilience, and presence.
My Background and Approach
I facilitate healing through the holding of sacred space where your entirety is welcomed, witnessed, held, and explored. Via this process you will gain tools and develop the capacity to effectively cope with life stressors. I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from the University of Southern California (USC) with a concentration in Families and Children and a sub-concentration in Child Welfare and a BA in Sociology with a minor in Women’s and Gender Studies from California State University Los Angeles (CSULA). My background includes experience in program coordination, case management and direct services in affordable housing, child welfare, residential treatment, and community/school mental health with parents, women, and children/teens/transitional-aged youth.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As a 1st generation Mexican-American, Bilingual, Licensed Clinical Social Worker/therapist, I incorporate a social justice perspective. I acknowledge that oppression exists and negatively contributes to the emotional/mental health of historically marginalized people and aim to serve these populations. I use a holistic approach that takes culture into consideration to aid in restoring the mind-body-spirit. I aim to provide accessible, trauma-informed, culturally responsive mental health services using a strength-based approach for holistic healing to under-served/BIPOC populations.
