Hi! I am from Long Beach, California. After completing my undergraduate degree in Sociology with a minor in Psychology at California State University, Dominguez, I pursued a master’s degree in social work at California State University, Fullerton, and subsequently obtained my license to practice as a psychotherapist.

As a psychotherapist, my primary goal is to help my clients navigate through their mental and emotional struggles. Over the years, I have worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds and with various mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, anger issues, life transitions, and relationship issues. I believe in a holistic approach to therapy that incorporates the mind, body, and spirit. My therapeutic style is warm, honest, direct, empathetic, and collaborative. I believe that the client-therapist relationship is critical in achieving positive therapeutic outcomes.

I incorporate several different therapeutic modalities in treatment including: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing  (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic therapy, Mindfulness based therapy and Solution focused therapies. I understand that each client is different and try to tailor my approach to meet each individuals needs. We will work together to develop coping strategies that promote emotional resilience and well-being. My goal is to empower my clients to overcome their mental health challenges and live fulfilling lives.

When I am not with clients, I am likely with my dogs, spending time with loved ones, or traveling to different baseball stadiums!
