My Approach
I am passionate about building a genuine, unconditional, and non-judgmental rapport with my clients. It is important to me to hold a safe space for people to let their guard down in efforts to start their healing journey through therapy. While in this journey with you, you are the one leading the way and I am there to walk the path with you as support.
About Me
I was born and raised in Hanford, Ca. After graduating high school from Hanford High, I attended College of the Sequoias in Visalia, earning my associates degree and went on to to graduate from California State University, Fresno with my bachelors in psychology. With life’s twists and turns, I worked as a probation officer in Tulare County for several years and had the opportunity to go back to school and finish my masters in psychology, and graduated in 2019 from California Southern University.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with experience providing therapy in community mental health and private practice. My experience has allowed me to work with a variety of people ranging in age from young children through our older adult population, as well as many different cultural and religious backgrounds. I am Certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and have been formally trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).
