Education
Santa Clara University, Master of Arts, Counseling Psychology, Health Emphasis, 2017 — During my graduate training, I focused on trauma-informed and culturally responsive approaches to therapy, with an emphasis on family systems, intergenerational healing, and community mental health. My academic work explored the intersections of identity, systemic oppression, and collective care, which continue to shape my clinical and teaching practice today.
Throughout my education, I was actively involved in community-based programs supporting youth, families, and immigrant communities, experiences that deepened my understanding of resilience, advocacy, and healing within systems.
Work HistoryOver the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide range of clients and communities, which has shaped the way I approach therapy today. Early in my career, I gained experience supporting individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, and depression, learning the importance of meeting each person where they are.
I’ve also spent significant time working with families and communities impacted by systemic challenges, which deepened my understanding of how larger social systems affect mental health. This work has helped me develop a trauma-informed and culturally responsive approach, particularly for clients from marginalized and underserved communities.
Additionally, I’ve supported therapists and interns through supervision and mentorship, helping emerging professionals build confidence, refine their skills, and navigate the challenges of clinical work. These experiences have strengthened my ability to hold space with compassion, clarity, and practical guidance.
Across all roles, my focus has remained the same: creating safe, supportive, and empowering environments where people can explore, heal, and grow.
