I earned my Master of Science in Psychology (MSPY) from California State Polytechnic University in 2017. My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions and trauma, tailoring treatment to each person’s unique needs. My goal is to provide a space where clients feel understood and empowered to make lasting changes in their lives.
My Clients
I became a mental health clinician because I wanted to better understand the challenges my own family members faced and to support others who have experienced difficult childhoods. Working with children and teens in foster care opened my eyes to the lasting impact of trauma and strengthened my commitment to helping people heal. I believe that with the right support, individuals can navigate life’s difficulties and build meaningful, fulfilling lives.
