About My Clients

I work with young children (0–5) and caregivers needing support with early development and emotions. I help parents feeling overwhelmed, unsure how to respond, or wanting stronger attachment and connection. I support tantrums, anxiety, separation, transitions, and parenting stress. I serve bilingual, multicultural families in a culturally responsive space. Apoyo a familias bilingües en el desarrollo emocional, apego y retos de la crianza con cuidado y respeto.

My Background and Approach

I was born and raised in South Los Angeles and am a first-generation college graduate. I hold a Bachelor’s in Psychology from Mount St. Mary’s University and a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. With over 15 years in mental health and over 10 years as a clinician, I specialize in supporting children, mothers, and families through trauma, behavioral challenges, anxiety, and postpartum depression—helping strengthen bonds and promote healthy development.
