- LMFT
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California. I have over 14 years’ experience in social services settings/mental health as a bi-lingual (Spanish/English) therapist working with a variety of individuals, children, families and couples from different backgrounds presenting issues ranging from domestic violence, substance abuse, and post-traumatic stress Disorder (PTSD) to school and family issues. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, eating disorder, post-partum depression, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My education and training is a Masters in Clinical Psychology from Bethany University, and a Bachelor in Psychology and Spanish from University of California Davis.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I use various therapy models to find what works best for you as the client. I will go at your pace and help you to feel safe to open up. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
