I was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA, and received my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern California. I’m trained in Pain Reprocessing Therapy and am passionate about helping my clients root themselves in grace and self-compassion as they navigate their individual healing journeys.

My background is in community health and creating supportive services for youth and adults experiencing homelessness and chronic health conditions. I spent many years doing direct street outreach across Los Angeles County. It’s truly an honor to be part of A New Dawn of Shinah’s mission and purpose, which is rooted in the strength and resiliency of the incredible young girls and women we serve—and grounded in the importance of alignment between mind and body.

In my free time, I love hiking, reading, and soaking up the sunshine with my two dogs, Mama and Bean.
