My mission is to help individuals heal their interpersonal conflict and create more meaningful connections.
My passion has always been traveling and immersing myself in different cultures and languages. As a teenager on retreats, I learned the healing power of active listening. Living with strangers in Mexico and Los Angeles, I realized the value of community and culture.
During my travels, I witnessed the universal desire for humans to feel connected, safe, and valued. In addition, I observed on a systems level that interpersonal conflict does not just arise from within the individual, but also within their family and friends, and the social (cultural, political, economic) context. All of which can affect personal and interpersonal happiness.
This discovery led me to pursue a career as a Marriage and Family Therapist in order to provide the necessary tools to help clients resolve conflict, effectively communicate, and heal dysfunctional relational patterns allowing for more loving and peaceful relationships.

My professional training began as an undergraduate Psychology major at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana. I later attained my dual Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and Art Therapy at the College of Notre Dame in Belmont, CA. I have 25 years of experience working in the Mental Health Field. I am fluent in Spanish and have experience working as a bilingual therapist at mental health agencies.
My advanced training in Grief and Loss, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused-CBT, SBIRT (for substance abuse), TARGET (for trauma), and EMDR Certification aid in effectively treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues.
My approach is solution-focused, empathetic, and supportive. I strive to understand a person’s perspective and the source of their relationship challenges. Utilizing mindfulness, art therapy, and EMDR therapy, I provide a space for self-exploration, creativity, and healthy expressions of emotions. Helping individuals to channel their inner strength and become the best version of themselves.
My professional experience as a domestic violence counselor and parent educator allows me to help women who are ready to heal their relationship trauma and navigate life transitions such as parenting, postpartum, self-esteem issues, anxiety, and other major life challenges. My goal is to help women feel empowered and embrace a healthier future.
