I recognize that seeking help may not be easy, whether you are just beginning or continuing your therapeutic journey. However, seeking help is a powerful and courageous step to take in your life. I provide an empathetic non-judgmental space that allows you to be vulnerable and share your experiences without fear of being judged. You would lead your session with what you would like to focus on, while I offer support, guidance, and structure. I believe that every person has the capacity within themselves for personal growth and change. My goal would be for us to work collaboratively to facilitate change in your life.

At 17 years old, I knew I wanted to be a therapist the moment I understood what a therapist truly was. What drew me to the field were the people and getting to work so closely with others to assist them in becoming the best versions of themselves. I went to San Diego State and obtained my BA in psychology and then to Hope International to obtain my MA in marriage and family therapy. From there, I had years of experience in a variety of settings, including but not limited to community mental health, schools, and private practice. I have also worked with an array of demographics and cultures. Being a witness to so many of my clients growing and thriving is the motivation that continues to keep me on this same path today.

My interests outside of work includes spending time with my family and friends, trying new restaurants, watching new and old movies, and reading a sci-fi romance novels.

The Night Circus. It is one of my favorite books and I love how magic and romance is weaved into the book perfectly. As a therapist that takes on so much in my work its so nice to be able to escape the stressors of the real world into a fantasy.

I recharge by removing myself from the various stimulants and taking breaks. I love being in my room listening to music and disconnecting from the world.
