I work from a client-centered, Cognitive Behavioral, and Strength-Based humanistic approach to therapy. I work with my client’s strengths to help identify strategies and skills that clients can rely on when needed. My work utilizes an integrative approach. We all have unique personal experiences and come from diverse backgrounds requiring an individualized approach to our therapy sessions.

After working with children as an elementary school teacher for 8 years, and after my own therapy, I felt that I wanted to work with families, children, and adults on a different level.

I love to find new places to eat. My husband loves scouting out new restaurants, street vendors, and catering trucks, and making a day event out of it.

I allow myself to have downtime. I don't have to fill every minute of my day with something to do. I choose to watch a movie, take a nap, play a video game, meditate, go for a walk, or spend time playing with my dogs. It's all good!

I like to spend time with my husband and our friends. Spending time with friends allows me to unwind, share stories, and recharge.

Yes! I have four dogs at the time. My husband went to Juarez, Mexico to visit family in 2019. While visiting an aunt out on the edge of the city, he found 3 six week old puppies in a dump site. He cashed in his airplane ticket for a car and the next thing I know he is driving from Juarez to Los Angeles with a box of puppies in the back seat. We thought we were going to foster, but the pandemic hit and we fell in LOVE with them! We added the three to our two at that time. Ended up with a huge dog family :)
