About My Clients
Some of my clinical interests include, but are not limited to, mood disorders, anxiety, ADHD, familial and relationship conflict, identity exploration, sexuality-related struggles, and grief. I also specialize in serving the Latinx community, LGBTQIA+, and older adult populations.
My Background and Approach
I use empathy, creativity, curiosity, collaboration, and, when appropriate, humor, in my approach to therapy. I am aware that therapy is not a one size fits all, and I work with my client to find the right approach. Through various jobs and volunteer roles, I have developed the ability to connect with individuals from diverse backgrounds, identities, ages, and abilities. My previous experiences include: (1) conducting individual, group, and couples psychotherapy sessions at USC WorkWell Center, (2) leading mindfulness groups for elementary-age children with Young and Healthy, (3) running enrichment programs for elders with cognitive and physical impairments, and (4) providing crisis counseling through the national crisis text line.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
With my own marginalized identities and lived experiences, I have witnessed the barriers of receiving treatment firsthand, and I understand the significance of having a clinician who is knowledgeable about how our identities impact our journeys. Because of this, cultural humility, social justice, and identity-affirmation are important values that are a part of my practice.
