My Background and 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 Addictive Disorders. 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. My trauma-informed, somatic and person-centered approach allows clients to explore their internal parts and understand the dynamics that influence their emotions and behaviors. By integrating psychodynamic principles, I help individuals uncover unconscious patterns, fostering deeper self-awareness and healing. I prioritize building trust with my clients by creating a safe, non-judgmental environment. I encourage open communication, active listening, and genuine connection, allowing individuals to feel heard and valued as they navigate their therapeutic journeys.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I prioritize building trust with my clients by creating a safe, non-judgmental environment. I encourage open communication, active listening, and genuine connection, allowing individuals to feel heard and valued as they navigate their therapeutic journeys. As a Marriage and Family Therapist Trainee at Southern California Counseling Center, I gained valuable experience in community mental health. Such a diverse population taught me to see the whole person in their context and without judgment; I strive to facilitate a space for expression, reflection, growth and healing with compassion and a healthy dose of good humor. An immigrant with multilingual skills, I hold a strong orientation towards cultural sensitivity and I am keen to work with diverse populations.
