I have a great passion for bringing healing to individuals who have been through traumatic and stressful experiences. I'm a therapist with Octave and Eve

A graduate of San Diego State University with a BA in Psychology and an MS in Counseling, I am a bilingual therapist fluent in English and Spanish who specializes in supporting families and adults. My clinical practice focuses on restoring overall well-being and functioning for individuals navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, grief, and loss. I utilize an integrative approach that includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. I am deeply passionate about facilitating healing for those who have experienced traumatic or stressful events, including specific experience supporting military members facing career-related trauma. By providing empathetic and culturally sensitive individual therapy, I help my clients develop the necessary skills to achieve their personal and family treatment goals.
