About My Clients
I work well with goal-oriented clients who want to actively improve their lives. We focus on managing mental health through self-reflection and developing coping skills. Therapy can also help you gain a stronger sense of identity and clarify your core values.
My Background and Approach
I've worked in social services since 2010, with experience at UCLA Health Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital, California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, and USC Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work. My approach creates a safe space for you to talk about your thoughts, using a practical and supportive style. I aim for you to feel seen, heard, and validated. I genuinely care about my patients and, over time, provide guidance and motivation. I'll meet you where you are, giving you the time and space to explore and realize your potential.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe in a strong "talk-therapy" approach, where you share your thoughts, and I listen, ask questions, or present scenarios for deeper understanding. I also set and follow up on clear goals and therapeutic assignments. My flexible approach starts where you are, whether you prefer talking or working on specific goals. If you're considering therapy, I encourage you to reach out for a consultation to discuss your goals and see if we're a good fit. However, if you seek someone to simply give advice or tell you what to do, we might not be the right match. I view you as the expert on yourself, and my role is to tailor therapy to your needs, exploring various paths and potential outcomes together.
