Welcome! I am pleased to be a part of the BACA team and their mission of providing all individuals with high quality mental health care. I am currently an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist with a wide range of experience in a variety of populations. I started off my career working with refugees and victims of human trafficking in the greater Sacramento area.

I continued on as a behavioral therapist working with children on the autism spectrum before moving onto a psychiatric health facility as a MFT intern in Los Angeles where I attended graduate school. After obtaining my Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology, I returned back home to the Bay Area where I worked at a dementia facility with a geriatric population before engaging in private practice.

On my free time, you can find me riding my bike as I am an avid road cycler. I enjoy traveling and learning about new cultures and countries, as well as engaging in sporting events such as football, baseball, basketball, and rugby.
