As someone who identifies as bicultural, I can empathize with the many barriers associated with finding a provider who can understand various cultural differences that take place in our world. I want to help you reach your goals in a way that works best for you and your learning style. My theoretical framework is person centered and trauma informed, to provide you with the most personalized experience. I like to incorporate multiple therapy perspectives that include; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), as well as Mindfulness.

I have experience working in crisis services as well as outpatient Telehealth settings. My educational background includes completing a Masters in Applied Psychological Science from Pacific University. During my studies, I participated in a year-long clinical internship that focused on supporting people with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Anxiety using the evidence based practice of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). I enjoy working with people of various backgrounds who are struggling to manage their symptoms of anxiety or depression and are looking for support in taking back control of their lives.

I am committed to creating an environment that is inclusive and respectful to all people regardless of race, color, culture, religion, spiritual practice, sex, age, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.

*Mi lenguaje nativo es Español, así que puedo proveer servicios de consejería en Español si lo necesita.

Welcome and thank you for visiting my page. I am very pleased to introduce myself to you.

I believe that healing is a journey and is better when it's not happening in isolation. As your therapist, I commit to walking with you through your process of healing.

Life is a journey with as many challenges as joyous moments; however, sometimes our vision is clouded due to our Mental Health struggles. Allow me to help you through those challenging moments so you can regain the ability and focus to enjoy life once again.

My goal is to work in collaboration with you and your support system to help establish the right plan for you. With the focus on what’s important to you, we will integrate the Mind, Body, Spirituality and Social aspects of your humanity through this journey . You will be the main focus on our work together. My approach is strength based and holistic and I commit to doing this work with you.

My journey in the area of Mental and Emotional health began 7 years ago working as a School Based Therapist for a K-12 school district and served students and their families. Since then, I have been well immersed in working with youth, and their families. I graduated with my Masters in Social Work in 2014 and attained my Clinical Licensure as an LCSW in June 2022. I am more than happy to begin working with you and provide services in Spanish and English.

I was raised in Minnesota and later moved to California, where I earned my MSW at Loma Linda University. I spent five years working with the homeless population before transitioning to a more therapeutic setting. Although I initially began as a group therapist, my focus has shifted to individual therapy.

In my practice, I employ a non-judgmental and person-centered approach. I integrate motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) modalities. Additionally, I may incorporate dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills during the therapeutic process. I am committed to helping individuals establish and work towards ongoing goals, recognizing and respecting the existence of limitations in the therapeutic journey. I create a supportive space where people can use their natural abilities to grow personally and overcome their challenges.

I am a bilingual professional counseling associate who specializes in working with adolescents, adults, and families. I received my master's in Mental health counseling from Corban University. I also attended Western Oregon University, which is where I received my bachelor's degree while majoring in Criminal Justice and minoring in Spanish. I have experience working in Marion County Children's Behavioral Health Department and in Private practice.

My approach is strength-based, person-centered. Which allows me to meet my clients where they are by utilizing their strengths to enhance other areas we may need to work on. I integrate various evidence-based therapeutic approaches based on the specific needs of my clients.

Which allows me to establish a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship with each client I work with. It's also important for me to cultivate a therapeutic atmosphere where my clients feel at ease with opening up about their uniquely vulnerable stories, and where they are comfortable being their authentic selves.

When we bring consciousness to unconscious patterns of thoughts and behaviors and heal areas that have been wounded, we regain the option of choice where there previously wasn't.

I draw on training in client centered approaches to mental health counseling such as Somatic Experiencing, Gestalt therapy, and Humanistic Psychotherapy. I have also studied behavior based approaches to therapy such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. In each session I work to assess the needs of the individual and tailor the treatment provided with the necessary balance of structure and exploration. I specialize in taking a trauma informed approach, focusing on the client feeling safe enough to explore difficult areas that have been challenging with curiosity and openness. In this exploration unconscious areas become more consciousness and one has an increased sense of agency and choice.

My formal education includes an M.A. in Integral Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, CA and completion of the 3 year Somatic Experiencing Training. I also have work experience in the fields of child and youth therapy and substance use disorder treatment.

I have lived Internationally which allows for heightened cultural sensitivity, and am able to work with clients in both English and Spanish.
