Education & Experience

I am bilingual in Spanish and hold a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University, with a focus on Latino culture. I am culturally competent and have experience working with diverse communities, including individuals with varying political, spiritual, and gender orientations. I am a certified EMDR therapist specializing in transgenerational trauma, which involves healing the emotional and psychological burdens passed down through generations. This type of trauma can deeply affect one's sense of identity, often leading to anxiety, depression, or a sense of being stuck. By exploring and addressing these inherited patterns, I empower clients to break free from long-standing cycles, rediscover their true selves, and align with their values, resulting in significant reductions in anxiety and depression. Additionally, I support immigrant parents in understanding and reconnecting with their children. My experience includes three years working at a domestic violence agency, where I supported survivors of abuse.
