What should a new client know about working with you?
I’m an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist with five years of experience across clinical, private, and community-based settings. I started my career at CalFam Counseling Center, providing individual and group therapy to at-risk youth, and then spent three years delivering intensive in-home CBTp and trauma-informed support as a private mental health nurse.
For the past year, I’ve been a School-Based Mental Health Intern with a nonprofit, supporting students with IEPs through individual and group counseling, Tier 1 and Tier 2 interventions, and collaboration with families, teachers, and multidisciplinary teams to promote wellness and remove barriers to education.
I’ve completed a 70-hour training with the East Los Angeles Women’s Center in crisis intervention, advocacy, and referrals for survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, human trafficking, and homelessness. I’ll also begin EMDR training in September 2025, integrating it as a primary therapeutic approach starting in October.
My approach combines evidence-based practices—including CBT, CBTp, family systems, play therapy, and trauma recovery facilitation—within a restorative justice framework. I’m dedicated to creating safe, inclusive spaces that support resilience, growth, and long-term healing.
