About My Clients

I have expertise in special education, behavior management, parent-child relationships, and parenting stress and coaching. I offer specialized therapeutic support for parents/caregivers of children with challenging behavior, high risk mental health needs, and differentiated developmental needs. I also offer clinical supervision to school social workers.

My Background and Approach

I work with children, teens, and adults, using a specialized blend of behavior principles into my therapeutic practice. I started my career in special education as a behaviorist for children with autism and later worked as a school counselor for middle school students in East Los Angeles. I earned my BCBA in 2020 and my LCSW in 2021, allowing me to integrate behavior management techniques into my mental health practice. I love being able to work with clients from both a behavioral and mental health perspective, allowing space for big behaviors and big feelings to coexist and be processed together. I'm here to help! I am directive yet empathetic and allow clients to tailor their therapeutic plan to meet their needs and goals. Please don't hesitate to reach out for a consultation to see if we might be a good fit.
