Welcome

My passion for health, paired with the desire to help others, led me to pursue further studies in Clinical Psychology; continuously observing, listening, and learning. I am interested in understanding human beings better. I graduated from Azusa Pacific University with my Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology (with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy). Then completed my Clinical Associateship (3,000+ hours) and two California Board exams to acquire my active Marriage and Family Therapist License (LMFT). 

Growing up as a child athlete has impacted my perspective on body awareness, identity, self-esteem, anxiety management, performance strategies, and burnout prevention. Additionally, being exposed to the field of Psychology early on expanded my awareness of the importance of Positive Psychology, cultural diversity, preventative healthcare practices, and creative interventions. 

During my Clinical Training, Practicum, and Associateship experiences, I worked with a diverse range of clients/cases and concerns from children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. Currently, I enjoy focusing on working with young adults and adults. Primarily those who are navigating stress, anxiety, adjustments, burnout, low self-esteem, body image concerns, digital overuse, incongruence, interpersonal conflict, emotional (self) regulation and expression, school or career guidance, as well as specific health-related conditions such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), hormonal imbalances and other medical illnesses. 

In my free time, I enjoy life through exploring the outdoors (beaches, hiking, and biking), fitness/pilates, cooking/eating diverse foods, soulful music, reading, traveling, and quality time with loved ones. I hope to learn more about you as well. Furthermore, how I might be able to offer my support and assistance on your unique journey.
