I graduated from Fresno Pacific University in 2015 and became a licensed marriage and family therapist in 2019. I have experience working with foster youths, children, families, and adults at inpatient, outpatient, community, and school-based settings. My theoretical orientation is rooted in attachment therapy and I work from a trauma-informed, trauma-focused, person-centered, and strength-based perspective. I am trained in Motivational Interviewing (MI), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Psychosis (CBTp), EMDR, Graved Disability, and LPS Conservatorship.   Most pearls typically take two to four years to develop fully to become an exquisite piece of jewelry. Similarly, becoming a competent therapist is a gradual process that involves a few years of training, coaching, and mentoring. My goal as a clinical supervisor is to create a safe learning environment for each new associate to discover the joy of learning through exploration and to gain new perspectives from lessons learned from trials and errors. It is a privilege to share the knowledge, wisdom, and shortcomings that I’ve learned through the years from a former novice therapist to the next generation of new therapists. I’m excited to be a part of your professional growth and development on your journey to becoming a licensed marriage and family therapist.
