Introduction

Welcome to my practice! I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who brings over 20 years of experience supporting adults, families, and youth through life’s most difficult moments. My journey in mental health began working with at-risk probation youth, shaping my passion for helping underserved communities find healing and stability. Throughout my career, I have collaborated with agencies like the Department of Mental Health, DCFS, and LA County Probation. I've had extensive training in childhood development, generational trauma, and parent-child dynamics, and am especially skilled in helping clients uncover how past experiences may be influencing current relationships and emotional patterns. I am trained in EMDR and Brainspotting—powerful, body-based therapies that help process trauma and ease symptoms of anxiety and depression. My warm, grounded approach centers on building a trusting and collaborative relationship, where clients feel genuinely seen and supported. I strive to create a welcoming, culturally sensitive space for healing and growth. If you're ready to explore your next steps, I offers a free 15-minute consultation to see if working together feels like a good fit.
