I am the founder and executive director of Atibas Inc. which is a holistic therapy & counseling center in the Greater Sacramento area. I offer support for both individuals and couples to build flourishing relationships through our unique premarital singles and couples program.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with a specialization in diverse relationships. I am here to advocate for your success no matter your gender, race, or sexual orientation. I integrate attachment theory, emotionally focused models, internal family systems (IFS), relational cultural theory, neuroscience, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Certified Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and trauma-informed models.  I am a Certified Gottman Couples Therapist, and frequently use the Gottman Method based on each couple’s unique interests, goals, and needs for their therapy plan. Whatever brings you to therapy, I am committed to being open and nonjudgmental to honoring your needs, belief systems, and point of view. The decision to begin therapy is a sign of strength and an investment in yourself, and you should be proud to begin and/or continue the journey.
