About My Clients

I was a client myself. I have faced numerous challenges, including divorce, anxiety, substance abuse, cancer survival, family dysfunction, financial instability, encounters with the justice system, childhood abuse, traumatic events, job loss, parenting struggles, and the deaths of loved ones. My clients love that I relate and empathize. My clients range from teens to seniors, encompassing individuals, families, and couples from diverse cultural, socio-economic, and demographic backgrounds.

My Background and Approach

I bring a lifetime of experience to my practice. Life crises have shaped me, and through my own therapeutic journey, I have found healing. Now, as a therapist, I am dedicated to help others heal and "pay it forward." I am trained and I practice evidence-based therapy methods like CBT, Psychodynamic, Family Systems, and Solution-Focused. For couples, I use Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman method, and Imago skills. I hold a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology from Cal State University at Fullerton.My focus includes managing anxiety and depression, enhancing relationships, and resolving family issues. I customize my approach to meet your unique needs. Having faced my own life challenges and having been a client myself, I understand the importance of trust in therapy. I bring empathy, compassion, and professionalism to every session. Clients appreciate that I relate to their struggles and support them on their healing journey. Reach out and let's begin this journey together.

I have faced numerous challenges, including divorce, anxiety, substance abuse, cancer survival, family dysfunction, financial instability, encounters with the justice system, childhood abuse, traumatic events, job loss, parenting struggles, and the deaths of loved ones.
