About Me

I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker LCSW #131181 and EMDRIA Consultant-in-Training with advanced training in trauma-informed and attachment-based treatment. My work as an integrative EMDR therapist is grounded in a trauma and neurobiological framework, with treatment plans individualized to client presentation, complexity, and readiness. I specialize in the assessment and treatment of complex trauma, anxiety disorders, panic disorders, and dissociative processes. I integrate EMDR therapy with complementary, evidence-based models including Internal Family Systems (IFS), the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), allowing for flexible, phase-oriented treatment of complex and developmental trauma. My clinical approach emphasizes attunement, stabilization, and adaptive pacing, particularly when working with clients presenting with dissociation, attachment disruptions, and nervous system dysregulation. I maintain a strong focus on clinical formulation, risk assessment, and ethical, culturally responsive care. I bring over ten years of experience providing services across wraparound, school-based, outpatient, and intensive treatment settings. I currently practice at a County-contracted clinic in Orange County, delivering trauma-informed services in English and Spanish to children, adolescents, and adults, including low-income and unhoused populations.
