Meet our Therapists

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me and my specialties. I specialize in working with adults including adults with trauma, CPTSD, and PTSD. I also support people who are struggling to balance life and work, anxiety and depression disorders, grief, and relationship issues.  I work with individuals who experience high levels of stress, negative self-talk, life changes, and who often feel emotionally dysregulated. I continue to work in higher education providing personal, career, and academic counseling to diverse students including students with disabilities, English Second Language Learner students, international students, and Spanish native speakers’ students. Also, I worked for one year in the Regional Center of the East Bay as a Bilingual Case Manager for children and young adults with disabilities. Using a collaborative approach I worked with clients to craft individual program plans while also advocating in individual educational plan meetings for children’s needs in addition to supporting families in crisis. I work with individuals with the intention to walk alongside them in their healing by meeting them where they are and supporting them in their goals.

I am an associate professional clinical counselor, proud daughter of Mexican immigrants, first to attend college in my family and a feminist. Y me encanta hablar espanol! I started my educational journey in Rio Hondo Community College in Los Angeles at age sixteen years old through a dual enrollment program. I transferred to UCLA when I was eighteen years old and then graduated with my B.A. in Sociology and minor in education studies. I attained my M.S. in Counseling from San Francisco State University. I also am a current adjunct counselor in Chabot College where I support students in the here right now, draw from their cultural knowledge and experiences and build with them, and empower students that they have what it takes to succeed in college.
