I am a bilingual Associate Marriage and Family Therapist based in Southern California, working with children, teens, and families. I strive to create a calm, supportive environment where clients feel safe expressing themselves and parents feel included and supported in the process. My approach is warm, collaborative, and developmentally informed, with a focus on emotional regulation, strengthening family relationships, and helping each child build confidence and resilience.
