As someone who has experience being on the other side of this process, I know how important it is to find a therapist you feel safe and heard by. I earned my M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy from Chapman University. During my time at Chapman, I worked as a therapist in Chapman’s community mental health clinic seeing individuals, couples and families from various backgrounds. My clinical experience also includes a year of training at the LGBTQ Center of Long Beach where I worked primarily with trans and queer teens and young adults. 

​

In addition to my work here at FCC, I have been working as a clinician in residential and outpatient levels of care for eating disorder treatment and practice from a HAES (Health at Every Size®) and fat-positive perspective. Social justice is embedded in my work and I am passionate about affirmative, trauma-informed care. I have an extensive background in serving queer, transgender and non-binary people of color and I aim to create a secure and compassionate space for healing marginalized and oppressed communities. 

​

My approach to therapy focuses on an attachment and internal family systems lens, emphasizing the humanness of experiences and growth in discovering parts of the self. I feel honored to delve into clients' stories and witness the vulnerability and bravery of their journeys.
