Hi, I’m Cenarus. Welcome to The Center of Resiliency.

I’m honored to be part of your healing journey and strive to offer a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel truly heard. My goal is to walk alongside you as you navigate life’s challenges and move toward meaningful growth.

I work with adults experiencing a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, self- esteem issues, life transitions, stress, and substance use.

I have several years of experience in the behavioral health field, including work in substance use treatment settings. I approach therapy with cultural awareness, sensitivity, and care, and I welcome individuals from all backgrounds. I currently offer virtual sessions for clients across California and am accepting new clients.

My therapeutic style is collaborative, compassionate, and responsive to your unique needs. I draw from a variety of evidence-based practices—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-

Focused Therapy—adapting my approach based on what feels most effective and relevant to each client. I help individuals deepen self-understanding, strengthen their inner resources, and foster meaningful growth in the areas that matter most to them.

A little about me:

I received my Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from San Jose State University and also hold a Master of Public Administration. Outside of my work, I value time with family and enjoy creative expression.

I welcome the opportunity to connect and support you in your therapeutic journey.

 Greetings and welcome!

I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, and young adults. My approach is rooted in professionalism, empathy, and the belief that every person has the opportunity to grow and improve. I work collaboratively with clients, guiding them to discover their strengths and develop coping strategies to face life’s challenges.

I utilize a wide range of evidence-based interventions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing. My goal is to help people adapt to their communities, build healthy relationships, and create positive living environments. As a dedicated social worker, I am deeply committed to empowering individuals and families as they navigate life’s challenges.

I am fluent in English and Spanish, which allows me to connect with diverse populations. Having experienced language barriers in my own childhood, I understand the difficulties that come with poverty and limited access to resources. As a cancer survivor, single mother, and grandmother, I bring a unique perspective and firsthand understanding of the strength required to overcome adversity and embrace resilience. I also recognize the importance of family support systems and the power of community in fostering healing and growth.

Through my work, I am committed to promoting mental health awareness, strengthening families, and helping others live their most fulfilled lives.
