I am a Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in the following states: California, Florida, New Jersey, Vermont, and Montana.  I have been working with children, families, and adults since 2001. My work began in Miami, Florida where I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology from Florida International University. I then moved on to receive a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California.

I have extensive clinical experience in working with a variety of disorders and treatment needs. My specializations include anxiety disorders, depressive symptoms, marital issues, and parenting techniques. I am trained in several evidence-based practices, such as Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), Positive Parenting Program (Triple P), and The Incredible Years (IY). I have worked with multi-cultural populations providing therapy in the United States in both California and Florida, as well as in Singapore. I am bilingual (English/Spanish) and can conduct sessions in Spanish, if needed.

My background includes research-based work, community mental health, school settings, and private practice. My goals as your therapist are to work with you to help you improve your quality of life by exploring your current and past struggles and find ways to feel better about yourself and your life situations.
