As a native of Southern California, I deeply connect with the diverse communities I serve. My passion for advancing the field of Marriage and Family Therapy led me to pursue extensive education and training, culminating in a Doctoral degree. With a strong foundation in research, clinical practice, and business, I founded two impactful ventures in 2023: The Center for Mental Health Excellence (CFMHE), a California non-profit, and The Institute for Relational Well-being, a national practice. These initiatives reflect my unwavering commitment to enhancing mental health services and promoting community well-being.
As the Executive Director and Clinical Supervisor at CFMHE, I lead a team of skilled therapists dedicated to providing exceptional care. We create a safe, supportive environment where individuals, couples, and families can explore their challenges and build meaningful connections. Our evidence-based approaches are tailored to your unique needs.
Beyond my professional life, I find joy in spending time outdoors with my family, engaging in activities like scuba diving, cooking, and exploring new destinations through travel. These experiences fuel my passion for helping others navigate life's complexities. Ready to embark on a journey of growth and well-being? Contact me at CFMHE to get started.
