Hey, it's really great to meet you, and thanks for checking out this profile. I've been working at this since about 2010 and I've found that one of the best ways to really help people is to just be a person with them. I intend to make sessions relaxed so that you can feel comfortable talking about what's going on. But don't get me wrong, I will definitely challenge you and help analyze what's happening so we can take steps toward growth. I use an eclectic style, primarily built up of cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness-based, and problem-solving techniques.

Hello! My Name is Georgina, I am an LCSW practicing in Southern California. I specialize in the areas of relationships, self-identity, and intergenerational trauma. I take an inclusive, person-centered approach to explore how external and internal stimuli feed into depression, anxiety, and self-esteem. My goal is to help you find authentic confidence in the ways you engage in self-care, relationships, and the ongoing transitions in your life.

I see many clients who feel stuck and unable to alter their life in a way that reflects their values, causing them to feel sad, on edge, or numb. They are suffering a great deal, and often their needs seem unclear. I use a frank and kind style to empower clients to find meaning and hope as they navigate the complicated, often oppressive systems of our world. This process is one of uncovering patterns—which may feel difficult to articulate at the beginning—restricting clients from fully experiencing life. Once their needs and goals become clear, I help them build and sustain a more flexible and expansive way of living and connecting.

If you have past trauma then you likely also experience anxiety. I specialize in clients with anxiety due to trauma, ADHD, or OCD. I work with individuals and with couples. Relationships can be confusing and painful for those who have had past trauma, ADHD or OCD. However, there are ways to heal through your past and experience a healthy relationship.

Every life is a story. We are each the hero of our own story. Daily we are faced with challenges and decisions. Some of us are better at navigating the challenges and making thoughtful decisions than others. My role, as a therapist, is to support those who need it to navigate challenges that may seem daunting.

I enjoy working with clients who are looking to explore new ways to understand themselves, their relationships, and the reasons for their distress. I think that most of our depression, anxiety, or trauma responses come from a place of protectiveness and if we can learn to have empathy for ourselves in these reactions, we can learn to choose when to double-down and when to let go.

I’d like to begin by acknowledging the courage that it takes to seek out therapy. The reality is that life is hard! Yes, there are beautiful moments but the difficult times are very real. I am a BILINGUAL (Spanish speaking) LMFT providing counseling to individuals and families addressing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, parenting issues, DCFS, and much more.

When was the last time you felt deep pleasure, connection or acceptance within yourself or a relationship? Therapy works when you find someone who gets you.
