Hi there, I'm Claudia! Hola! I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Southern CA. I work with clients throughout CA via telehealth. I have been a Social Worker for over 20 years and have experience working with individuals of all ages and backgrounds. I'm here to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can be yourself without judgement. My approach My approach to therapy is a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy & Solution-Focused modality. I believe individuals are capable of improving their sense of self, purpose, and ability to make changes they need/want for a more fulfilling life. Utilizing a collaborative approach towards understanding & growth can help bring life-altering results. My focus I work with adolescents and adults of all ages and backgrounds. My experience has been working with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, conflict at home/school/work, self-esteem, confidence, motivation, at-risk youth, women's problems & infertility. Whether you’re working on building coping skills or exploring your personal goals, I’ll work with you to create a plan for growth that feels encouraging and achievable. My communication style My communication style is personable and nurturing, so clients feel comfortable and open to work towards their goals. I provide a safe and welcoming space to allow clients the ability to express themselves and reflect on their experiences.

Your goals may evolve, and it is meaningful to see your progress along the way. My first session with you The first session will help me explore the presenting concern and gather information.
