"Circumstances determined your past, the present is embracing you, and only you can define your future." Teresita Marsal-Avila
Welcome!
Thank you for visiting! I'd like to first give you a congratulations for taking the step towards your personal healing. You may be visiting because you are looking for your personal growth, or you may be supporting a loved one to get access to support. The decision to start therapy is a courageous first step towards understanding, healing, and change. My goal is to provide my clients a safe and supportive space to heal.
I believe that we carry much power and strength. Sometimes life takes off and we may need a space to talk about the things that ail us presently, past hurt or trauma that has taken place or things we are worried about in the future. In my office, I want you to know you are welcome and accepted.
I provide services via teletherapy for individuals, couples and families residing in California.
About Me
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who was born and raised in San Francisco's Mission District. I help people find meaning, give language to experiences, develop deeper self-understanding and create more peace in their lives and relationships.
Much of my experience has been working with youth ages 12 and older and with their families, in support of their socioemotional development. I have also worked with recently married couples, new professionals, women in leadership and other individuals seeking healing from intergenerational trauma and more.
I also have worked to establish school-based mental health programs in the Bay Area. I have provided trainings to mental health clinicians about therapeutic approaches to support youth and families from a trauma responsive perspective. Lastly, I have also provided trainings to educators and parents about the developmental psychology of children and adolescents through a trauma informed and liberatory perspective.
I provide therapy through a lens that embraces your culture and lived experience. The work that we will do in therapy will be led by you and will build upon your strengths, values and your personality. I infuse humor, creative and visual arts, and an eclectic mix of therapeutic modalities that best suit you and your situation.

Virtually, this is designated for individuals to process and explore their thoughts. In session I can offer an empathic ear, and suggestions for integrating creativity, the arts and spirituality into your self care. I approach therapy from a very personable stance and aim to be collaborative with clients. I believe that we already have the tools to nurture our own healing, I am only providing the space for you to find those tools within.

Clinical Supervision
Virtually, this time will be spent discussing cases, addressing countertransference, and talking through clinical interventions that best meet the needs of your clients. A very key part of our work together in supervision is to also think about the ways your presence may be impactful in your client work. We are who we are holistically and it is a crucial part of our exploration us to discuss how you influence the dynamic in the therapy space.
