Work History

I earned my Master’s in Social Work (MSW) from Azusa Pacific University in 2018, solidifying a foundation that propels my passion for couples therapy. Subsequently, between 2018 and 2021, I immersed myself in providing in-home therapy to a diverse community in Los Angeles, spanning Service Plan Areas 6, 7, and 8. This experience allowed me to develop a nuanced understanding of the intricacies of multiethnic and multi-aged relationships. In pursuit of my commitment to therapeutic excellence, I obtained my Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) certification in 2021. Prior to pursuing my MSW, I dedicated my efforts to serving as an in-home behavioral therapist for children and adolescents grappling with Autism Spectrum Disorder, an experience that sharpened my skills in fostering meaningful connections within families. My professional journey also includes certifications as a Crisis Oriented Recovery Systems (CORS) and MAP clinician, indicative of my holistic approach to therapeutic interventions. Currently, I am actively pursuing certification as a Gottman Couple’s Therapist. I have completed Levels 1, 2, and 3 of the Gottman Training, underscoring my commitment to honing the skills necessary for transformative couples therapy. My comprehensive background, from in-home therapy to behavioral intervention, reflects my dedication to understanding the intricacies of human relationships. Through my experiences, I have cultivated an empathetic and insightful approach to couples therapy, informed by a diverse range of client interactions. As you seek a couples or individual therapist, consider my journey—an evolution that intertwines academic achievements, practical experiences, and ongoing professional development. My commitment to enriching relationships extends beyond my qualifications—it's embedded in the fabric of my professional identity. Partner with me as we navigate the complexities of your relationship, working towards positive transformations.
