Our counselors offer counseling for teens in Modesto, CA

I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker with 4 years of experience supporting children, teens, adults, older adults, couples, and families through trauma, loss, and life transitions. My goal is to help clients strengthen resilience, restore connection, and achieve emotional well-being in a safe, compassionate space. Together, we'll identify strengths, build coping tools, and create positive change through collaboration and self-awareness.

I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Walden University. My approach is trauma-informed, empathic, and strengths-based. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and family systems techniques to support healing. 

In our work together, you can expect warmth, authenticity, and respect. Whether you're navigating relationships, grief, or personal challenges, I'll walk alongside you to foster healing, clarity, and confidence. You deserve a space to feel heard, supported, and empowered toward lasting growth.

I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker (ACSW) with a Master's in Social Work from the University of Southern California and a bachelor's degree in Psychology from California State University, Northridge. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and self-esteem concerns. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, seeking healthier coping strategies, or looking to better understand yourself, I'm here to support you in working toward your goals.

I take a collaborative, person-centered approach, tailoring treatment to each client's needs. Drawing from CBT, MI, strengths-based, and solution-focused approaches, I help clients understand unhelpful thought patterns, develop coping skills, and build on their strengths. Clients can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental space to foster resilience and growth.

Wherever you are in your journey, you deserve a space where you feel heard, supported, and understood. Together, we'll work to navigate life's challenges, build on your strengths, and help you move toward the life you envision. I look forward to supporting you when you're ready to begin.

Hello, I have been working with kids, teens, and young adults as an LMFT since 2016. I have worked with folks looking for support around substance use and harm reduction, self-harm, depression, anxiety, grief, and OCD. I am not limited to these areas and also have experience with relationships, attachment styles, and more.

There's no wrong way to build resilience. I'm client-centered and navigate based on where you want to go. I hold a holistic view, discovering what parts of your life need balancing. With ERP work, I offer gentle support and space when you're ready to move forward. I appreciate harm reduction approaches to substance use and safer ways to use if sobriety isn't your goal. I'm here to support what you want to work on in session.

Please feel free to reach out anytime. I would love to hear your story and hold space to navigate your mental health needs.
