My Background:

My journey in mental health started in 2020, as I received my certifications as both a labor and postpartum doula while supporting new mothers and babies during the pandemic. This work motivated me to attend graduate school, where I received my M.A. in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University, in order to continue to advocate for maternal mental health. During graduate school, I volunteered with Postpartum Support International (PSI), leading support groups for women struggling with mental health concerns. I simultaneously started my clinical journey working with children and families exposed to trauma, helping them cope with symptoms and heal. Through my experience I have helped support individuals through various difficult life challenges and learned how to facilitate healing and resilience.
