Raised in Los Angeles by immigrant roots, I have dedicated my career to serving diverse communities with compassion, cultural humility, and evidence-based care. I understand that every person's story is shaped by their relationships, culture, family experiences, and life journey. My goal is to honor those experiences while helping clients build healthier relationships, develop new strengths, and move toward lasting emotional wellness.

I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Mount Saint Mary's University and both my Master of Arts and Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) degrees from Alliant International University–Los Angeles. I completed my APA-accredited doctoral internship at Children's Institute, Inc. (CII), specializing in Early Childhood Mental Health and trauma-informed treatment.

Throughout my career, I have received advanced training and supervision from leaders in psychology while working in community mental health agencies serving some of Los Angeles County's most vulnerable and underserved populations. These experiences continue to shape my commitment to providing accessible, culturally responsive, and compassionate psychological care.

My therapeutic approach integrates evidence-based treatments tailored to each individual's unique needs. I am certified in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), Managing and Adapting Practice (MAP), and serve as both a Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) clinician and supervisor. I have also received specialized training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Seeking Safety, and other trauma-informed interventions.

I also serve as a training director at an APA-accredited Doctoral Clinical Psychology Internship Program, mentoring doctoral interns in trauma-informed psychological care and helping prepare the next generation of psychologists.

Whether you are seeking therapy or a psychological evaluation, I understand the importance of finding a provider you trust. If you have questions about my education, specialized training, professional experience, or services, I would be happy to answer them and discuss how I can support you.
