My Approach to Helping
I am currently working with individuals, couples, and families at Pacific Wellness Collective in Los Angeles, CA. I specialize in trauma-informed, person-centered care, addiction, gender issues, parenting, sociocultural trauma related to oppressive systems, fragmented self, abuse recovery, and marital and family conflict using an integrative, cooperative, and multi-dimensional approach.
I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist in the State of California (AMFT150437) and hold a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Antioch University with a specialization in Addiction. I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a B.A. in Psychology from California State University, Northridge, and hold dual Associates Degrees in Psychology and Social Behavioral Studies from Los Angeles Pierce College.
Currently, I am pursuing certification in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing EMDR, adding to my previous certifications in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), suicide prevention, and Gottman's "Lessons In Love" Workshop Leadership.
I am also a certified Jungian Life Coach and yoga teacher (TYT-200); when appropriate, I draw from my range of experiences to incorporate mindfulness and somatic practices in my treatment approach.

What I Love about Being a Psychotherapist
What I love most about being a psychotherapist is the profound privilege of walking alongside people as they navigate their most vulnerable and transformative moments.
Each session is an opportunity to build a genuine connection, to listen deeply, and to witness the gradual unfolding of self-awareness and healing. It?s an honor to be a part of someone?s journey, whether they are finding the courage to confront long-held fears, unraveling complex emotions, or embracing the possibility of change.
Being a psychotherapist means I get to do meaningful work every day, where no two experiences are the same, and every story is rich with depth and possibility. It?s the interplay of empathy, insight, and collaboration that keeps me passionate and inspired, knowing that the work we do together can truly make a difference in someone's life.
My Role as a Therapist
As a therapist, my role is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and challenges without judgment. I am here to listen deeply, offer insight, and collaborate with you to navigate life's complexities. Whether you're seeking support through a difficult time, working to understand yourself better, or striving to make lasting changes, my goal is to help you uncover your strengths, gain clarity, and build the tools you need for personal growth.
I see therapy as a partnership, where we work together to identify the underlying patterns that may be holding you back and create pathways to healing and transformation. With empathy and respect, I guide you in gaining a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships, helping you move toward a more fulfilling, authentic life.
