​
About Me.
I am currently pursuing my Master’s in Counseling Psychology with a concentration in Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) at the University of San Francisco, where I combine my passion for mental health with my commitment to social justice. Growing up, I often felt like I didn’t belong and was treated by peers and professionals as if something was inherently wrong with me, as if I needed to be "fixed." As an adult, I have come to understand that the issue was never with me but with how society treats individuals who do not conform to its expectations.
This realization was liberating and has inspired me to create spaces where others who have faced similar struggles can find empowerment and freedom. I strive to challenge the systems and narratives that marginalize and stigmatize individuals, using therapy to promote understanding, acceptance, and personal growth. With a background in Psychology and Philosophy from Sonoma State University, I bring a thoughtful and reflective approach to my work, helping to deconstruct harmful narratives and support others in their pursuit of self-acceptance and resilience.
I am passionate about spreading the message that no one is inherently "broken" and about building therapeutic spaces and communities that promote liberation, equity, and belonging for all.
