Welcome to Los Gatos Counseling Center! I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, Associate Professional Clinical Counselor and Certified Nutrition Consultant. I graduated from Santa Clara University with Honors in June 2019 with a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology.

Prior to moving back to the South Bay for graduate school, I lived in San Francisco where I received my Nutrition Consultant Certification in 2013 from Bauman College, and worked as a nanny and Nutrition Consultant. I have worked with children for more than 15 years in multiple capacities and in several different countries; as a nanny, an In Home Social Service support person and as a therapist. I specialize in working with children with developmental, behavioral and emotional differences.

I also have a great deal of experience working with adults, individuals, couples and parents. I take pride in calling myself an integrative therapist, matching therapeutic modalities to the specific needs of individual clients- whether they are children, adolescents, adults, couples or families. 

I have experience with Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA), child and family centered therapy modalities, CBT, DBT, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Existential Therapy, Family Therapy, and Positive Psychology, to name a few. 

I completed my MA traineeship at Hope Services, a non-profit in San Jose, CA that works specifically with individual adults, children and adolescents with developmental disabilities and severe mental illness. I also worked tirelessly to support the families who are impacted by family members with developmental disabilities and mental health challenges. I continue to work with Hope Services part-time as an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor and Associate Marriage and Family Therapist.
