About

Hello. I'm a psychologist based in California. I have been supporting underrepresented individuals on their journey for over 20 years. My goal is to collaborate with you in order to clarify the diagnostic process and approach the evaluation from a holistic perspective.

Education & Licensure
PhD in Counseling Psychology from Washington State University; BA in Psychology from UC Irvine.
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

I value people's differences and how it impacts self-understanding. I am inspired by these differences and view them as strengths and resiliency. It is important to work together to obtain greater clarity and confidence in moving forward with next steps that will aid in being able to prosper.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

An affirming and strength-based approach includes being able to actively listen, feel seen and valued. It is important to focus on what is working, not just was isn't. This helps bring a more aligned and balanced perspective.
