My goal is to provide a safe and judgment-free space for you to explore life's unique challenges we all face. I'll walk alongside you to guide and assist in managing life stressors impacting your journey. With my support, we will develop solutions, coping skills, and an understanding of emotions to improve your quality of life.

My communication style
It is essential to me you leave each session with more insight, self-awareness, and self-acceptance than before. I strive to create an environment of open communication, empathy, and collaboration as we work together toward your personal growth and healing.
My journey to mental healthcare
Driven by a passion for helping others navigate life's challenges, I pursued a Master of Social Work degree to equip myself with the knowledge and skills needed to make a positive difference. From May 2015 to July 2018, I completed my clinical hours for licensure at Tulare Youth Service Bureau under the supervision of Pablo Martinez, LMFT, laying the foundation for my therapeutic approach.
My goals for you
My ultimate goal for you is to help you live a purposeful life that excites and motivates you. Through our work together, I aim to empower you with the tools, insights, and self-understanding needed to overcome obstacles, build resilience, and create lasting positive change in your life.
My first session with you
In our first session, we will focus on getting to know each other and establishing a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, empathy, and mutual understanding. I will take the time to listen to your story, understand your unique challenges and goals, and collaboratively develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. You can expect a warm, non-judgmental, and supportive environment where you feel safe to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
