Our counselors provide therapy in Long Beach, CA

I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker (ACSW) with a Masters from Cal State Fullerton. I have experience with children and adolescents faced with anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, poor self esteem, and loss. My goal is to create a safe space for all to feel supported and empowered to create the change they wish to see.

I utilize a client centered and strengths based approach to promote trust and collaboration that works towards long term change. I also support clients in identifying and changing negative thinking patterns, practice mindfulness, and create positive coping skills so they may feel confident navigating future challenges.

No matter your age, race, background, or circumstances, I believe everyone deserves to feel supported, respected, and heard. It would be a privilege to walk alongside you and support you as you navigate your own unique journey.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over ten years of experience supporting adults through mood disorders, addiction, and life challenges. I began my career as a chemical dependency counselor and now specialize in helping clients build coping skills that support lasting growth and change.

I earned my Master’s in Rehabilitative Counseling from the University of North Texas. I use cognitive behavioral therapy and rational emotive behavior therapy to tailor care to each client’s needs. I focus on creating a collaborative space where clients feel heard, respected, and supported while working toward their goals.

I understand how important it is to have someone in your corner who listens without judgment. My goal as your counselor is to help you succeed and feel supported every step of the way. You can expect me to be attentive, compassionate, and committed to helping you achieve meaningful progress.

I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker. I have a Masters in Social Work from Touro College in New York City. For the past several years I have been working as a therapist with clients who experience depression and anxiety. I also work with people in life transitions, and those that are having difficulties in their relationships. I work with adults of all ages, including older adults who are struggling with grief and loss, loneliness, isolation, and health concerns. Together we find out what behaviors and patterns are getting in the way of making changes, and we work on finding new ways of moving towards feeling better about life.

Therapy with me is a collaborative process. We will move at your pace, working to understand what’s going on beneath the surface, and build self-awareness, self-trust, and compassion for yourself. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, solution-focused therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

You don’t have to have anything figured out. You simply need a willingness to show up and be curious about your inner world. Together, we’ll make space for your emotions, and reconnect with the parts of you that may feel lost or unheard. I am here to work with you. Give yourself the gift of therapy.

I spent many years working in the entertainment industry before returning to school to pursue my passion for helping others and creating a safe, supportive space where people can feel heard, understood, and accepted. I am currently an ACSW working toward licensure, with training in trauma-informed care, substance abuse, and Motivational Interviewing. I work with a wide range of clients, particularly individuals struggling with trauma, anxiety, stress, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, and self-esteem challenges, and many are seeking support in understanding themselves more deeply, improving coping skills, building healthier relationships, and feeling more grounded in their daily lives. 

My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and collaborative. I utilize Motivational Interviewing and person-centered techniques to help clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, and feel more empowered in their lives. I specialize in working with trauma, anxiety, and emotional challenges while creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space for healing and growth. 

Healing and growth can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate it alone. I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, supported, and accepted for who they are. If you are ready to begin your journey toward healing, self-understanding, and personal growth, I would be honored to support you along the way.
