TRAINEE

Welcome everyone! I am a first-generation Latina in the mental health field. In the LatinX culture it is uncommon to ask for help and I believe we need more of the Latin X population to be a strong advocate in this field. Whether you are struggling with relationships, family, trauma, I believe that your true aspirations, conflicts, and needs are meaningful and worth getting to know.

I graduated from Notre Dame de Namur University with my master’s degree in Clinical Psychology- MFT/LPCC. I became interested in the field of psychology when I was in high school doing community service for the local preschools as a classroom assistant. I have previous experience working with special needs children/adolescents at three different agencies and Palo Alto School District. I am interested in working with the LatinX community and interested in exploring their relationships, trauma, and family systems. Some of the things that I like to do in my free time are going to the beach, hiking, camping, and spending time with friends and family.
