I look forward to meeting and working with you!


Practice Info

Bio:
As a native of Ecuador, I am fluent in English and Spanish and am very culturally sensitive. My parent immigrated when I was 7 years old and settled in a suburb of Los Angeles. I met my husband in high school, married in 1994 after graduating from UC San Diego with a Masters in Psychology. We moved to Orange County, CA where I completed my training in Marital and Family therapy in 2002. I was then blessed with a child and became a stay at home mother for 10 years until my husband's job moved us to Arizona where I decided to return to continue my career as a counselor and psychotherapist.

I thoroughly enjoy reading, decorating and homemaking. I strive for work life balance and honoring God through a strong commitment to prayer in my daily life.
