My commitment is to provide a compassionate, genuine atmosphere, which is safe and encourages emotional growth and healing. This allows one to explore deep seeded beliefs, feelings, and natural responses while providing a pathway to embrace change. I’m dedicated to supporting a positive impact on the clients I serve. I’m passionate about working with children, youth, and families.

I earned my bachelor's degree in Psychology from Sonoma State University, then went on and pursued a master's degree in Counseling Psychology with an Empathies on Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of San Francisco. I‘ve had the privilege of receiving extensive training and experience.
As a result, I have a profound understanding of the family dynamics which influence individuals. I believe that the therapeutic relationship we create is the foundation of our work together. My priority is to create an authentic connection based on trust and understanding.
