What should a new client know about working with you?

Hola! I am an LCSW based in California with 6 years of experience in the mental health field. I help adults and older adults manage and cope with a variety of mental health concerns that develop throughout the lifespan. Whether these concerns are adjusting to life-changes or managing ongoing concerns, I am here to help clients in their journey. I focus on fostering a sense of empowerment so that all clients can walk away from sessions with the motivation to enact the change they seek. My main focus and approach to individual therapy is healing through empowerment. I am driven to be an ally to everyone’s journey in building a strong and stable mental health foundation so that they can move through the world with an empowered sense of self. As a bilingual (Spanish speaking) and bicultural (1st generation person), also strengthens the affirming perspective I bring to my practice.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I like to begin our first session with introductions, so that we are not strangers to each other, and also open the space for clients to pose any questions or concerns that would be beneficial to address at intake. From there on, the focus of conversation will be on identifying the different challenges that a client is facing. As we discussed these topics, I will also approach our conversation with curiosity so I can gather a comprehensive snapshot of where you find yourself in life. This will help both of us collaboratively identify goals that we can work on in subsequent sessions.
