My training, specialization, and passion are devoted to the transformative work of promoting resilience from traumatic experiences. Currently a licensed clinical psychologist in Houston, TX, I earned my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Fielding Graduate University where my research and community work focused on promoting self-compassion and self-efficacy in all socioeconomic populations. I participated in an APA-accredited internship in Forensic Psychology at the San Bernardino County Department of Behavioral Health and a specialized post-doctoral fellowship in PTSD and dissociation. My dedication to trauma work began before my graduate studies when I sought to understand my own childhood experiences and grow from them. 

The majority of my career prior to private practice was spent serving incarcerated individuals in a role in which I specialized in treating trauma, psychosis, and co-occurring Substance Use Disorders. 

I cherish the brave and collaborative process of therapy; let us see what unfolds together.
