As a bi-racial therapist, I understand the challenges and barriers that come with trying to break intergenerational trauma, which oftentimes fuels cycles of guilt, shame, and identity despair/confusion. I demonstrate a level of understanding that these obstacles can at times lead to isolation and feeling like you’re not good enough. I understand we are each on our own unique life path and will meet you along the way. I provide unconditional support, guidance, and safety, and equip my clients with practical strategies to help them define and reach their goals while learning to live their best life.
MSW - Social Work, California State University, Long Beach
I am dedicated to supporting individuals in their healing process and have supported organizations dedicated and focused on providing support services to underserved communities.
I have spent a lot of time working with Habitat for Humanity's global Village program building homes across the world. I enjoy pushing the mind and body to its limits by participating in half iron man triathlons!
I have read The Alchemist by Paolo Coelho at least once a year for many years. I love The Alchemist because it is a story of overcoming obstacles and learning to look inward and and trust ourself and follow our dreams.
I have two furbabies that I love dearly! Every morning I enjoy waking them up and watching them run around so excitedly to start a new day and go on our favorite walk together! I enjoy winding down at the end of the day by snuggling up with my pups and reading a book.
