I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10 years of experience. My ideal client is someone struggling with depressive symptoms who needs to learn new coping skills to manage their depression. Their goal is to implement a variety of techniques to better help them get through their problems.
I have a Master of Science in Social Work from San Jose State University. I focus on self-reflection and helping clients build their self-confidence. Through our relationship, you and I will focus on the most important thing for you to improve.
As a Hispanic woman, I understand the stigma in Hispanic culture related to mental health. However, there is no shame in needing support and guidance. Mental health is just as important as our physical health. We all need someone at some point to help guide us through difficult periods of our lives.
