As a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist, I am passionate about helping individuals optimize their overall mental health. I have a BA in Psychology from Cal State Fullerton, a MS in counseling from Cal State Los Angeles and have been practicing for nearly a decade. I am currently working with clients statewide via telehealth.
I am a somatic therapist specializing in trauma and relationship issues, and my focus is helping clients heal and integrate the mind/body/spirit connection to experience the deeper meanings and intentions of their life. I provide a warm, compassionate space for inner exploration so clients feel seen and accepted. Transformation and healing are then possible. I am a certified Brainspotting therapist and have level 1 training in Internal Family Systems (IFS).
My goal is to empower people to look at the bigger picture of what is possible for them.
My background working in the fields of adoption and foster care led me to focus on healing trauma - childhood trauma or later traumas that impact our everyday functioning. I am here to help you heal. In addition to being an LMFT, I am also a Registered Yoga Teacher and I incorporate mental health practices with body work and breath work to reduce symptoms.
I'm passionate about helping people build the skills to cope with emotional and mental health challenges and live healthy, full lives. I work with adults facing relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and ongoing mental health conditions.
My goal is to help you find a healthier perspective on what you're facing and to build practical coping skills you can rely on long after our sessions. Together, we'll draw on the strengths you already have so you can feel more confident and find your direction.
I draw on several approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Gestalt therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), and I tailor my work to fit you and your goals.
Thank you for considering me. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California. I have a Masters in Social Work from the University of Southern California where I studied Adult Mental Health an Wellness and Military Social Work. I specialize in the Veteran and First Responder populations.
I help Gen Zers and Millennials to manage the overwhelming anxiety and stress that the fast-paced world of today causes. Whether the ever-evolving world is making it difficult for you to navigate the challenges of anxiety, depression, parenthood, work pressures, romantic partnerships, emotional trauma, or interpersonal relationships, I am prepared to aid in rebuilding your confidence and developing a powerful toolkit for combatting mental health blocks.
As a proud Mexican woman, it’s important to me to provide a space for marginalized groups to feel understood and validated. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and deeply passionate about supporting the queer community with compassion and empathy. I am also sex-positive and have helped many of my clients overcome barriers and concerns regarding sex and physical intimacy.
I graduated from California State University Dominguez Hills with a Master’s Degree in Marital and Family Therapy in 2016. I began seeing clients in 2014, and in the years since, I have worked in substance abuse programs, behavioral health hospitals, intensive outpatient programs, and numerous group practices. Today, I enjoy managing my own practice and seeing my clients thrive as they tackle treatment goals. I am located in Los Angeles and am exclusively offering virtual therapy at this time, making it convenient for you to meet for your sessions in the comfort of your chosen space.
I'm so glad you're here. Reaching out for help takes a
lot of courage. I work with adults, adolescents, and seniors moving through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, and the relationship changes and life transitions that come with them. In a session with me you can expect utmost empathy, compassion, and a safe, non-judgmental space to navigate and process — whether you're sitting with
something painful or simply trying to understand yourself
more fully. My hope is that you leave each session feeling
more understood and more connected to what matters
most to you.
I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, and relationship challenges. If you're seeking more short-term coping, we can explore the patterns shaping your experiences to support lasting, meaningful change. My approach is trauma-informed and attachment focused - always guided by your goals. Therapy is a warm, collaborative space where we process experiences, strengthen communication, and build more secure, fulfilling relationships.
I provide clients with tools. discernment, and hope for the future. My sessions are supportive, helping to guide, and encourage you with a caring. compassionate, and non-judgmental approach. When you feel that your train has gotten off track, I will help you get back on track. Christian counseling is also available upon request.
It’s natural to feel unsure of who you are and where you want to be as you move into adulthood. Therapy is an opportunity to learn about yourself and how to navigate through new challenges of life. I have over 10+ years of experience empowering young adults to gain coping skills, discover ways to balance life stressors, and communicate effectively to build healthy relationships. Whatever your goals are, my role is to work with you to get closer to living the life you envision.
