About My Clients
I work well with goal-oriented patients that want to make active changes to meet goals that will improve their lives. Clients would want to learn to manage their mental health through looking inward and back and/or developing coping skills to deal with the reaction of their emotions. We could also use therapy to gain a stronger understanding of "Who I am" and "What I stand for" by identifying values that we want to live by.
My Background and Approach
I've been working in social services since 2010. I've had experience doing therapy sessions at UCLA Health Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital and dealing with moderate-to-severe mental illness cases at California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation facilities for both men and women. Additionally, I've conducted individual Telehealth therapy sessions at USC Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work under the supervision of Ivy League and USC doctoral credentialed supervisors. My approach involves creating a safe space for you to talk about your thoughts. I use a practical and supportive style in my treatment. I want you to feel seen, heard, and validated. I genuinely care about my patients, and over time, I can provide guidance and motivation. I'll meet you where you are and give you the time and space to explore and realize your potential.
More About the People I Treat
I believe in a strong "talk-therapy" approach where you can share your thoughts, and I'll listen and ask questions or present scenarios for deeper understanding. I also incorporate structured treatment by setting and following up on clear goals or completing therapeutic assignments. I take a flexible approach, starting where you are – whether you prefer talking or working on specific goals or worksheets. 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're looking for 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. Instead of prescribing a single "right" path, I aim to explore various paths and potential outcomes with you.
