I began my career in 2014 as a specialist in substance use treatment after earning my Bachelor's degree in Rehabilitation Services in Texas. Early on, I worked in a program that took a rigid approach to treating individuals who use substances. It was there that I recognized the urgent need for more flexible, compassionate care.

When I returned home to California, I committed myself to educating others and implementing flexible treatment approaches for those navigating their relationship with substance use. This dedication has not only earned me credibility as a therapist but has also helped create safer, more accepting spaces for individuals seeking support—free from judgment, shame, or blame.

Today, I bring both my clinical expertise and lived experience to support you on your path to healing and success. I’m truly grateful you’re here.
