My background in studying child development has made me passionate about working with kids, teens, and adults as they navigate key periods of growth and change.
I believe therapy is for anyone and everyone, and that seeking help is a sign of strength and resilience. I partner with clients to integrate evidence-based approaches such as ACT, CBT, and mindfulness-based practices. By creating an empathetic, safe, non-judgemental space, I am dedicated to helping clients from all walks of life incorporate their unique identity and culture into the therapeutic process. I am particularly passionate about working with individuals in the LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent communities.

Growing into a better life is done one small step at a time. Change is always possible, and it does not have to be overwhelming. My private practice is focused on individuals and their families impacted by issues related to unique academic, social, emotional, and behavioral challenges. Most of my clients are children, teenagers, and adults. My clients commonly struggle to obtain maximum performance and may need a boost of motivation to make it to the finish line. I believe in a team approach and collaborate with other professionals and family members to participate when appropriate.

I offered CBT, Prolonged Exposure Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Trauma-Focused CBT to help kids, adolescents and adults reduce PTSD, depression, and anxiety symptoms.
Through personal and professional experiences, I quickly learned that society often misunderstands, invalidates, and stigmatizes mental health disorders including OCD, other Anxiety Disorders, and PTSD. I therefore made it my mission to validate, support, and help clients learn to navigate the challenges of living with such disorders. I am a registered California Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and Associate Professional Clinical Counselor. I currently work with individuals with OCD and Anxiety Disorders of all different ages, though I have a particular interest in supporting adolescents and children.

I really enjoy working with adults who are seeking to improve their mental health.
I hold a master’s degree in Social Work and a bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I worked for the Department of Children and Family Services (CFS), San Bernardino County, for more than seven years. I have experience in the child welfare and mental health field. I am a trainer for the San Diego University Research Foundation, and I am an adjunct professor for several universities. I am a doctorate student at Barry University. I am pursuing a doctorate degree in social work with an emphasis on trauma-informed practice.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults as well as relationship issues of all ages.
Change is hard! Isn't the alternative worse? Life can be very challenging and demanding. It can even seem extremely overwhelming. The good news is you don't have to feel alone. Seeking help is a sign of courage and strength, which I foster in practice. I offer assistance in finding ways to manage your stressors in ways that work for you. Improving self-esteem, learning to cope, and managing emotions is all possible. I won’t promise it will be easy (therapy rarely is). But I can promise you, it will be worth it.

Now offering telehealth services for children, adolescents, and adults. We live in a fast-paced society that fosters stress, anxiety, and perfectionism, often at the expense of balance and well-being. As a psychologist, I work with clients to help them increase healthy functioning and create the balance they are seeking in their lives, behaviors and relationships. Unfortunately, many of the stressors of modern life begin to be felt early. I work with not only adults, but children and adolescents to help them learn healthy ways of managing the demands they face.
