With 12 years of professional work experience (Certified: Individual-CBT, Alcohol and Drug Counselor {12 step Based}, CRC-Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, and licensed in California), and working with various communities with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I am aware and clear that you are the one who makes the decisions for your life. Supporting your growth with patience, and kindness, as well as acknowledging and reminding you of the value and importance you hold is my goal . With a collaborative approach, we will help identify and remediate cognitive, mental, and emotional issues, including personal growth, adjustment to disability, and psychosocial and environmental problems. Having overwhelming stress and anxiety, having experienced past trauma and abuse, lacking motivation, lowered self esteem, and confidence, & depression needs nurturing and understanding.
Aiming to Understand adds balance to life. Empowering individuals to deal adequately with life situations, reduce stress, experience growth, change behavior, and make well-informed rational decisions is important. Being in an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment is the created safe space that is waiting for you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

I really felt seen and understood by Leticia early on from our first session. She is very perceptive and I appreciate the perspective and new ideas she brought to me and my situation. I am grateful for the ease i felt with her as my therapist.
