My Story

I began my education in the field of mental health by completing a two-year Addiction Studies program, followed by a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice from California Lutheran University. My passion has always been to support individuals navigating the complexities of addiction and the criminal justice system. To deepen my understanding, I earned a Master's degree in Criminology from the University of California, Irvine. However, I realized I needed further training to provide the comprehensive support my clients deserve, which led me to pursue a second Master's degree and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from California Lutheran University.

Since starting my career in mental health treatment in 2010, I have worked in residential treatment facilities, a detox facility, intensive outpatient programs and partial hospitalization programs. In my professional experience, I have prioritized inclusivity and diversity in the clients I serve. I specialize in trauma-informed care, specifically focusing on supporting the LGBTQIA+ community as well as clients from various backgrounds, ethnicities, and cultures. My commitment ensures that all individuals receive the tailored support they need.

My therapeutic approach centers on understanding the unique experiences of each individual. I have extensive experience working with clients facing acute mental health challenges, mood disorders, bipolar disorder, gender dysphoria, and chronic relapsing addiction. Additionally, I support those dealing with disordered eating and body image issues.

Drawing on my knowledge and hands-on experience, I strive to create a safe and supportive environment for all my clients. With a strong educational foundation and a deep commitment to making a positive impact, I am dedicated to helping individuals on their path to healing and growth.
