Hi/Hola. The first step is always the hardest and I am so glad you have decided to prioritize yourself and your mental health. As a first-generation Latina graduate, I recognize the struggles with balancing work, school, relationships, family and doing life all while trying to maintain several roles and as if that were not enough, work on yourself. 

Little about me, I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Child and Adolescent Development at California State University, Northridge. I obtained my Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology: Emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy at Azusa Pacific University. Over a span of my career, my professional experience ranges from providing intensive field based behavioral services, parenting services, and traditional outpatient therapy for children, adults, and families. 

it is my hope that together we can help you manage this season in your life through healing, growing, diving into the past, present, future and building practical skills to support you in your journey. 

I specialize in working with college/graduate students and young professionals in navigating the many challenges that come with being "the first." I also specialize in supporting young adults enhance their romantic relationships through unlearning and learning healthy habits as a couple.

I am passionate about helping you thrive through culturally sensitive therapeutic approaches. As part of my practice, I utilized CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), solution-focused, Gottman Method (level 1), and EFT (emotion focused therapy) along with humor, compassion, and respect. I believe that it is not a coincidence that you are here and that with the right amount of support, you can grow to become a better version of yourself.
