My Approach to Helping
I am a Bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Addictions Counselor with over 17 years of experience. I studied Counseling at UC Berkeley and Clinical Social Work at UIC Jane Adams School. I have the honor and privilege of providing mental health services to young adults and adults.
My counseling style focuses primarily on empowering clients to lead better lives and, in so doing, treating them with respect and dignity in a safe, supportive, encouraging, and warm space. My role as a therapist is to understand you as an individual, listen, provide a non-judgmental safe space, guide, advocate, advice, and educate those in need as they find their voices and healthier lifestyles, meeting them where they are at � believing that clients are the experts of their lives.
