Introducing Bianca, a seasoned licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) whose private practice stands as a beacon of hope and healing for individuals, parents, and couples alike. With a diverse background spanning various roles in both non-profit and for-profit facilities within the mental health industry, Bianca brings over a decade of invaluable experience to her clients' journeys.

Academically, Bianca embarked on her journey by earning her Bachelor's degree in Clinical Psychology from Mount Saint Mary’s College. Fueling her passion for mental health further, she pursued her Master's degree at the prestigious University of Southern California, graduating with distinction in Social Work. Her specialized focus was on 'Adult Mental Health and Wellness', reflecting her dedication to understanding and addressing the complex needs of individuals in their pursuit of holistic well-being.

Within the sanctuary of her practice, Bianca seamlessly integrates a range of therapeutic modalities to meet the unique needs of each individual she serves. Utilizing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), she guides clients through the process of reprocessing traumatic memories, allowing them to heal and move forward with renewed strength and resilience.

In addition to EMDR, Bianca is informed in somatic work, a powerful approach that recognizes the integral connection between mind and body in the healing process. By helping clients release stored tension and trauma held within the body, she facilitates profound healing and restoration on a holistic level. But Bianca's toolkit doesn't end there. With a foundation in psychodynamic therapy, she delves deep into the underlying roots of her clients' struggles, exploring the unconscious patterns and beliefs that may be contributing to their distress. These modalities are most supportive for thought and mood disorders. Through this introspective journey, clients gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the factors shaping their experiences, paving the way for lasting transformation and growth.

Bianca's commitment to her clients extends beyond the confines of her office walls. She is dedicated to staying current in her practice, continually seeking out the latest research and advancements in the field to better serve those who entrust her with theircare. With Bianca as their guide, clients can embark on a journey of healing and self-discovery, empowered to embrace life's challenges with courage, resilience, and grace.

Bianca resides in Los Angeles, California. You will often find Bianca during her downtime spending time with adventuring her native state, abstract painting, gardening or spending time with her friends, family and most notably her chocolate lab, Mick!
