I was raised in the Berkeley area and have remained in the Bay Area throughout my educational experiences. I deeply enjoy being a part of this community, and serving diverse populations. As a PsyD student at the University of San Francisco, I am developing my skills as a future psychologist with the hopes that I continue to serve youth and their families. My greatest desire in this field is to make a difference in people’s lives by providing accessible, tailored, and quality care to those most in need of mental health services. I believe that youth are intelligent, creative, passionate, and resilient. They deserve to be listened to, learned from, and helped. When I work with a client, I first approach them with curiosity and then aid them in exploring their goals. I look forward to working with youth and their families at BACA. In my spare time, I enjoy painting, cooking, and exercising. I love to explore restaurants and fun areas within the Bay Area too!
