Together we will work on strategies that allow you to explore your foundations, current experiences, and potential, while learning coping techniques to use when you need them the most. Healing is a shared effort that requires genuine caring without judgment, and I supportively assist my clients in defining their goals for treatment. Rather than adopting one approach for all individuals and issues, I draw from a variety of methods to create a tailored treatment plan for each client. I understand that patients from diverse cultures may communicate distress differently, so I strive to maintain multicultural competence in treatment. Because Black and Brown clients often face racial and ethnic disparities in mental health care, I specialize in issues that impact these communities.

The following year I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology from California State University, Los Angeles and continued to work in substance abuse and mental health for a couple of years.
After working in detox and various psychiatric settings, I realized that I could do more for my patients if I could dispense medications, so I decided to go back to school and eventually graduated as a licensed psychiatric technician from Mountain San Antonio College. After working as a psych tech for a couple of years, once again, I felt limited in what I could do for my patients, so I went back to school and graduated as a registered nurse from Rio Hondo College.
