As a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor and a Registered Play Therapist, my clinical expertise encompasses a broad spectrum of therapeutic services for children, adolescents, adults, and families across outpatient and inpatient mental health settings. My professional commitment is deeply rooted in challenging and reducing the stigma associated with mental health, with a particular focus on enhancing the well-being of individuals within minority communities.

I place a significant emphasis on the pivotal role of cultural understanding in the therapeutic process. Recognizing and appreciating the influence of culture on an individual's experiences is fundamental to crafting personalized treatment plans. This approach ensures that therapy is relevant and resonates on a personal level, fostering a more effective and meaningful therapeutic journey. In my practice, I am dedicated to remaining abreast of the latest therapeutic approaches and techniques most suited to meet clients' diverse needs from various cultural backgrounds.

My research interests include multicultural issues, Chicano studies, crisis intervention, exploring gender-specific challenges, and developing strategies to better serve minority populations. Through my work and scholarly pursuits, I am committed to contributing valuable insights and strategies that support advancing culturally competent care in the mental health field.
