As a first generation Chicanx living in Los Angeles, I understand the challenges that communities face when they are unfairly targeted and left out. With my degree from USC School of Social Work and over a decade of experience, my goal is to empower my clients. I want them to feel confident, secure in their identities, and truly part of a supportive community.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Clients can expect the first sessions to take things slow, focusing on introductions and understanding what brings the client to therapy. We will work together to create a personalized treatment plan that caters to the client's unique needs and strengths.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Clients have expressed their appreciation for my therapy style, noting its compassionate and understanding nature, as well as its non-judgmental and flexible approach. I also make a point of working closely and intentionally with each client to develop a personalized treatment plan.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I have a special focus on working with young adults navigating the transition into adulthood, as well as with first-generation college students and recent graduates. These individuals are coping with significant life changes, while also juggling relationships, personal aspirations, and external expectations. My clients display tremendous resilience and have the tools needed to navigate life's transitions; they just need support in learning when and how to best use them.
