Education
Azusa Pacific University, Master of Social Work, Social Work, 2019 — I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) from Azusa Pacific University in 2019. My graduate training focused on clinical social work, trauma-informed care, and evidence-based therapeutic approaches. During my studies, I gained experience working with diverse populations and addressing concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions, which continue to inform my work in private practice today.
