Health Equity Statement
I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families navigating a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, behavioral challenges, postpartum adjustment, relationship and communication struggles, grief and loss, and life transitions. I also welcome clients who wish to integrate their spirituality into therapy, honoring the values and beliefs that bring meaning and strength to their lives.
Biography
My background also includes extensive experience working in medical settings, particularly in pediatric and women’s health, addressing complex issues such as comorbidities, postpartum mental health, parent support, and family dynamics. Having lived and worked in diverse cultural contexts—both as part of majority and minority communities—I bring a deep appreciation for multicultural perspectives and am committed to serving underserved and marginalized populations with compassion and respect.
Experience
My therapeutic approach is integrative and evidence-based, drawing from Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and systemic family therapy models. Every client is unique, and I believe therapy should be collaborative and tailored to your individual needs and goals. My aim is to walk with you as you identify your strengths, develop practical coping strategies, and foster deeper connections in your life.
Education
I hold a Doctorate in Marriage and Family Therapy from Loma Linda University, where I focused on integrative and culturally responsive care.
