About
As a woman of color who has known both trauma and healing, I am deeply committed to helping individuals build the capacity to rediscover safety, strength, and self-connection.
I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker with 4 years of experience. I’ve worked with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relational challenges. I approach each person’s story with empathy and curiosity, creating a safe and supportive space for healing and growth.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy, helping clients build awareness, regulate emotions, and shift unhelpful patterns. I blend structure with compassion to support clients move toward meaningful personal growth.
I know reaching out for help takes courage. My goal is to meet you where you are, without judgment, and walk alongside you as you build insight, confidence, and self-trust. Together, we’ll work to create lasting change that feels both sustainable and authentic.

As a therapist with lived experience, I bring an eclectic, trauma-informed, and compassionate-centered approach that honors each person's unique story, creating a supportive space for healing, growth, and exploration of identity in all of its forms.
I am a therapist with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, and co-occurring mental health concerns. I work with adolescents and adults, and my experience spans private practice, addiction treatment, community mental health, and homeless services. I hold a master's degree in psychology with an emphasis in marriage and family therapy and am EMDR trained.
My approach is eclectic, trauma-informed, and tailored to each client's unique needs. Drawing from EMDR, DBT, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing, I help clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, process difficult experiences, and move toward lasting healing and growth.
Healing happens in a space where you feel safe, heard, and accepted exactly as you are. Whether you're facing a current challenge or carrying the weight of past experiences, you don't have to navigate it alone. When you're ready, I welcome the opportunity to support your journey.

As someone who has worked within complex healthcare and social systems, I understand how external barriers impact our well-being and therefore focus on helping clients build strategies that restore balance and self-direction.
I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker with 12 years of experience in behavioral health hospitals and care coordination. I bring a trauma-informed and culturally responsive lens to therapy. As a Latina clinician, I recognize how culture, identity, and lived experiences shape our emotional well-being. I help clients navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, trauma, and major life transitions find healing, stability, and renewed confidence through compassionate, practical support. My goal is to help build emotional balance, self-understanding, and sustainable empowerment.
I received my Master of Social Work from Loma Linda University. My approach is collaborative and strengths-based, combining evidence-based methods like CBT and mindfulness with trauma-informed care. I focus on helping clients gain self-awareness, develop coping strategies, and create sustainable change through compassion, structure, and empowerment.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel uncertain, but it’s a courageous choice. I hope that you feel supported, understood, and empowered to navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and strength. Together, we’ll work toward healing that feels genuine, sustainable, and truly your own.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Huntington Beach, CA can develop a treatment plan that will help you better manage your day-to-day anxiety or your anxiety disorder.
Anxiety therapy involves talking to a therapist about symptoms, potential causes, and more. Thriveworks Huntington Beach therapists will then work with you to determine where your anxiety might stem from and teach you effective coping mechanisms.
One of the best ways to deal with anxiety is to learn about your own anxiety: your symptoms, what triggers it, and what coping mechanisms have been effective in the past. When you learn what your anxiety is tied to, it can help you be mindful of what’s really happening as well as prevent and mitigate symptoms by processing and working through the issue in therapy. Other strategies that have been shown to help manage anxiety are meditation, challenging anxious thoughts, exercising, and journaling.
Common symptoms of anxiety include:
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be incredibly effective in treating anxiety and anxiety disorders. Other effective techniques include exposure therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and EMDR therapy.
Anxiety therapy is conducted both in person and online, depending on the individual’s preferences and their therapist’s availability. We suggest choosing the option that best suits your needs.
On average, people can tend to attend 15 to 20 session of anxiety therapy (five or more months). However, this number is heavily dependent on the type of anxiety that’s being treated and its severity, with many choosing to attend anxiety therapy for a longer period of time to ensure its effectiveness long-term.
Yes, it is worth going to therapy for anxiety. If you are struggling with regular anxious thoughts and feelings that are affecting your day-to-day life or you suspect that you have an anxiety disorder, you should seek expert anxiety help.
