Life can be challenging at times, but you don’t have to navigate it alone.
Education & Experience
After earning a degree in Psychology from Irvine Valley College and Sociology from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), I pursued a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and Licensed Professional Counseling at Our Lady of the Lake University.
Throughout my education and professional journey, I have continuously expanded my expertise by attending numerous therapy trainings and conferences across the U.S. I have also led seminars on various topics for young adults, singles, and newly married couples. For some time now, I have been working as a school-based therapist, supporting the emotional, academic, and social development of children and adolescents.
Areas of Support
• Premarital counseling and challenges within marriage
• Family communication issues and relational conflicts
• Managing anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, and life transitions
• Supporting children and young individuals with self-confidence, anxiety, family changes, school, and social relationships
• Emotional adjustment for new mothers and parents
• Grief counseling and coping with loss
• Play therapy for kids
Therapy is not about “fixing” you—it is about unlocking the strength and potential that already exist within you. Using Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Collaborative Therapy, I help my clients focus on their strengths and create meaningful change.
