Guiding Individuals and 
Families with Clarity, Care, and Clinical Excellence.

Psychological Expertise Rooted in Compassion and Inclusion.

I’m glad you’re here. I’m a licensed psychologist with over 12 years of experience in private practice, providing psychotherapy and psychological evaluations to children, adolescents, and adults. Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a Spanish/English medical interpreter, which deeply shaped my culturally responsive and inclusive approach to care.

I completed my Master’s in 2012 and started private practice in 2013. Around 2014, I also worked at Marha’s Lab. I am also part of the Parenting Evaluation Therapy Program (PETP) with Dr. Andrew Benjamin, JD.

In 2022, I earned my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and I have been in Private Practice for most of that but I did spend a year working at Dr. Marsha Linehans lab at the University of Washington in her research, I worked and did my master’s internship at Navos Community Mental Health. As a doctorate candidate, I did my internship with a brilliant Neuro Forensic Psychologist who has taught me so much about forensic and neuropsychology. My practice is rooted in collaboration, expertise, and a shared commitment to serving diverse communities.

I offer a broad range of psychological services, with a particular focus on comprehensive assessments, including ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), parenting evaluations, and forensic evaluations. My goal is to provide clear, compassionate, and evidence-based guidance that supports individuals and families in understanding themselves and navigating life’s challenges.

Whether you’re seeking therapy, an evaluation, or simply exploring your options, I am here to support you.
