Registered Associate Clinical Social Worker

I received my Master of Social Work degree from Loma Linda University. Now as an Associate Clinical Social Worker (ASW), I am deeply committed to continue to provide compassionate, evidence-based mental health care to individuals, couples and families. Being fluent in English and Spanish allows me to connect with clients from diverse backgrounds and foster a culturally inclusive and supportive environment.

My therapeutic approach incorporates modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness. I have experience supporting clients dealing with depression, anxiety, developmental disabilities, and those who are survivors of abuse. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment for healing and growth by approaching therapy with empathy, active listening, and a client-centered perspective.

I am passionate about empowering clients to overcome challenges, build resilience, and achieve their goals. My previous work experience and dedication to evidence-based practices reflect my mission to make a meaningful difference in the lives of my clients by working together.
