I have a Psychology degree from University of California, Santa Barbara and a Master of Psychology degree from Antioch University. I have tremendous experience working with the youth. A major focus in my work has been surrounded upon improving mental health through developing coping skills, anxiety management and helping to aid growth within the family system. I am incredibly passionate about the therapy process which comes with empowering others. Most of my career has been spent working with youth and their families through school-based therapy programs. I utilize play and art therapy techniques, along with psychoeducation from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. My goal is to work with you to find what works for you specifically. In every session, you will be met with kindness and unconditional positive regard.

Welcome! Taking the step to reach out for support is a powerful act of self-care, and I’m here to meet you with warmth, understanding, and a space that’s truly yours.

My purpose as a therapist is to collaborate with you to help identify and achieve your goals. From a supportive and strength-based approach, we can maximize effectiveness while removing resistance towards your success to turn your stumbling blocks into stepping stones.

Thank you for being here today. I am deeply committed to creating a safe, compassionate, and culturally responsive environment. I work alongside individuals, couples, and families as they navigate life’s challenges and transitions. My background includes extensive experience in supporting clients from diverse backgrounds, including those navigating trauma, identity, or mental health concerns. My mission is to honor each client’s unique story while empowering them to access their inner strengths, build resilience, and move toward healing and growth. I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey, and that meaningful change begins with trust, curiosity, and a willingness to explore new perspectives. I approach therapy with empathy, respect, and authenticity. I am highly attuned to cultural and identity-related dynamics, and I strive to ensure my clients feel seen and heard without judgment. Behavior is a form of communication and work to understand the underlying messages behind emotional or behavioral patterns. I maintain firm therapeutic boundaries while creating an environment of safety and mutual respect.
