About
Hello and Buen Día to you all! It would be my pleasure & privilege to work with you. I have been clinical trained as a forensic & family psychologist. I have worked for the last 18 years with a Spanish speaking population in California supporting healing around trauma and a variety of issues from prevention to severe and chronic suffering. Family and forensic means that my area of expertise lies where the family intersects with the court system: couples therapy around divorce, therapy revolving around child custody/arrangements, child abuse, removal and reunification and or juvenile detention.
I also have had specialized training in neuropsychological evaluation which helps me understand how the brain functions and spikes my curiosity about how each individual makes adjustments and accommodations for the diverse way the human mind presents.
My motivation for working with autistic adults is my own experience with individuals who have needed, received and benefited from evaluation and intervention. The impact of diagnosis and recommendations and of course treatment can change people's lives, relationships and futures. I am hopeful and excited to be a part of that process.
I enjoy working with families, children, couples, and adolescents. I believe each person’s innate strengths give way to our natural desire and pursuit for wellness & healing. My hope is that working together we can find healthy outcomes for you.
