Hi, I’m Magaly, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California. I have experience working in hospital and community-based settings, supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and life transitions.
I earned my Master of Social Work degree from California State University, San Bernardino. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and strengths-based, with a focus on helping clients feel supported and understood.

*Currently not accepting couples* Welcome! I provide support to individuals, couples, kink, and various polyamorous/ethically non-monogamous relational structures to guide them toward sexual wellness and health with an emphasis on communication, pleasure, and intimacy. I am also an avid advocate for combatting stigma in regard to STI/STDs, providing education on safe disclosures, and anxiety surrounding initial diagnoses. I've worked with folks with disabilities and chronic illness/pain, sex workers, survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, LGBTQIA+, reproductive and perinatal issues, and those struggling with cultural identity and religious trauma.
My modalities include a sex positive approach that is non-judgmental, compassionate, and empathetic. I use different interventions such as CBT, motivational interviewing, bereavement and grief support, mindfulness, meditation, and harm reduction strategies. I include literature, art, and somatic practices into the therapeutic space as well.
My background is in medical social work (currently have worked over 8 years in the hospital setting). I have worked at UCLA, the Los Angeles Sex Therapy Collective, and I've presented at many sexual health conferences and workshops. I have my Masters in Social Work and Public Administration from USC and my undergraduate degree in Political Science from Macalester College, MN.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (2023) with nearly 30 years of experience in the field of social work. I have extensive experience supporting adults, older adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, caregiver stress, and major life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence‐based care. I focus on helping clients build resilience, strengthen coping skills, and create meaningful, sustainable change at a pace that feels safe and comfortable.
My background spans behavioral health, medical social work, hospice, and community‐based services. I have worked in hospitals, group homes, county systems of care, and multidisciplinary teams. This broad experience allows me to understand the emotional, social, medical, and environmental factors that shape a person’s well‐being — and to tailor treatment to the whole person.
You may look like you have it together, but inside you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious, or trapped in your own thoughts. You replay conversations, struggle to quiet your mind at night, or carry experiences you rarely talk about. You've learned to keep functioning while bearing the weight of it all. As someone who has been on the other side of the badge and now serves as a licensed clinician, I understand what it means to bring difficult experiences home with you. When accustomed to being strong for everyone else, therapy can be where you finally take care of yourself. Let me help you quiet the spiral and reclaim your life.
As a former law enforcement officer, licensed clinical social worker, and current children’s social worker, I bring both professional training and real-world-experiences to therapy. I understand that asking for help can make it uncomfortable-especially for people who are accustomed to being the one others depend on.
