Finding the right mental health provider can feel overwhelming, especially when you're already struggling. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, or everyday stress, I want you to feel comfortable reaching out. As a bilingual psychiatric provider, I offer care in English and Spanish. I believe in listening without judgment, treating you as a person rather than a diagnosis, and working together to help you feel better. I offer appointments within 24 hours because your mental health shouldn't have to wait.
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in El Segundo, California, offering both in-person and
online sessions. My practice centers on depression, codependency, and trauma and PTSD, and I bring a
warm, grounded presence to every session. I work with adults who feel stuck in patterns that once served
them but no longer do, whether in relationships, identity, or day to day coping. Many of my clients are
navigating big life transitions, including new parenthood, since I recently became a parent myself and
understand how much that can reshape a person's sense of self. My goal is to create a space where you
feel safe enough to slow down, understand yourself more deeply, and reconnect with what matters to you.
My path into psychiatry is both professional and personal. I moved to the U.S. alone at 17 while navigating complex PTSD and periods of misdiagnosis, which shaped how I understand mental health today. I began with a bachelor’s degree in psychology at Nankai University, then trained as a nurse and nurse practitioner at Charles R. Drew University and Purdue University.
Over the past 7 years, I’ve worked across medical and mental health settings, developing an approach that balances clinical precision with individualized care. I specialize in anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and complex PTSD, particularly for individuals who feel stuck or haven’t found relief in traditional treatment.
I’m licensed in California, Virginia, New York, Washington, and Oregon, and provide care via telehealth.
As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I am dedicated to helping people feel like themselves again. I provide compassionate, evidence based care for anxiety and depression, ADHD, PTSD, bipolar disorder and other mental health conditions.My goal is to create a judgement free space where patients feel heard and receive personalized treatment that fits their lives
I have been working in private practice for a few years and before that I worked in non-profits with a variety of individuals and groups. I am the parent of two adult sons and have three grandchildren that I thoroughly enjoy spending time with. I have an educational background in the study of philosophy, spirituality and counseling psychology. I have experience with helping people with histories of trauma, severe mental illness, as well as, symptoms of anxiety and depression. I also have experience and some expertise with clients struggling with substance use.
