I am glad you are here! A little bit about me professionally, I received my Dual master's at Saint Mary's College in Marriage and Family Therapy and School Counseling. I specialized in Solution-Focused Approach and Cognitive Behavioral therapy. I moved to San Francisco to start my career as a School Counselor. After a few years, I became a Mental Health Counselor in Middle and Elementary schools. I worked with kids, families and adults for over a decade. After taking time off to raise my daughter, I am back doing what I love.

Provide a safe and collaborative space to guide you in exploring and processing life’s challenges to work through and process them. I focus on your therapeutic goals, build self-esteem, build confidence, and ultimately be your best version.

My goals are for clients to feel lighter, better understand how they feel, and, if any, what steps they need to take to continue to grow. Clients will be heard, seen, and understood.
