My first priority is to “meet you where you are” to help you feel safe, seen, and heard each time we meet. Though I bring my own experience and expertise to sessions, you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to collaborate with you to meet your goals based on your personal needs, strengths, and preferences. My focus at each session is to provide a space for you that is built on trust, curiosity, empathy, humility, and respect. I use a Humanistic approach informed by EMDR, CBT, EFT, and mindfulness tools to help you reach your goals. I also draw from Psychodynamic and Multicultural theories to understand how your background shapes your life today.

I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Cal Poly SLO in 2015, and in 2020 I received an M.S. degree in Multicultural Clinical Counseling from San Diego State University (SDSU). I became fully licensed as an LPCC in 2024 after providing individual and family therapy in Community Mental Health and Community College settings across San Diego County. I also have experience teaching and supervising clinical counseling students at SDSU.
