Clinician. Educator. Research Collaborator. Community Advocate.
My work doesn’t stop at the therapy room door.
I bring clinical expertise, lived experience, and community perspectives into the conversations that shape how mothers, babies, and families are supported.
My work brings together professional education, community based research, maternal health advocacy, and multidisciplinary collaboration.

I believe meaningful change happens when clinical knowledge, lived experience, and community voices come together. I work alongside healthcare professionals, researchers, birth workers, community organizations, and professional leaders who share a commitment to improving maternal and infant health.
My work supports families of all backgrounds, with particular attention to communities experiencing disproportionate maternal and infant health risks. I value collaboration across disciplines and communities to expand access to compassionate, culturally responsive care and improve maternal and infant health outcomes.
Thoughtful, practical contributions to education, research, and community initiatives.
Engaging education for therapists, doulas, midwives, clinicians, health systems, and community organizations.
Topics include perinatal mental health beyond postpartum depression, pregnancy and infant loss, reproductive grief, traumatic birth, and culturally responsive care.
Culturally responsive facilitation that invites participants to share experiences, priorities, and ideas in an atmosphere of respect.
Designed for researchers, health programs, and community organizations seeking meaningful perspectives to inform services and initiatives.
Consultation for organizations and professionals seeking a clinical and community informed perspective on maternal mental health, reproductive grief, education, or program development.
Available for focused conversations, project planning, and collaborative learning.
Professional education and consultation are separate from psychotherapy services. Therapy is provided only when clients are physically located in California.
Looking for guidance on a clinical question or wanting to deepen your perinatal mental health expertise? Individual professional consultation offers a focused space to explore your questions and next steps.

My community involvement includes facilitating postpartum support groups, participating in maternal and infant health initiatives, and collaborating on research focused on improving maternal health outcomes.

My contributions span community programs, multidisciplinary improvement efforts, professional leadership, and research informed by lived experience.
I participate in San Bernardino County's Fetal and Infant Mortality Review program and Maternal Health Network Data Subcommittee, contributing to efforts that identify gaps in care and strengthen maternal and infant health services.
My research contributions include coauthoring a published UCLA community health research poster examining maternal care experiences and opportunities for improving healthcare systems. I have also contributed to the Inland Empire Perinatal Loss Survey Project in collaboration with California Baptist University and community partners.
My involvement extends to initiatives addressing barriers to maternal healthcare and supporting pregnant people impacted by incarceration.
I contribute to the Perinatal Equity Initiative Community Advisory Board, work with Global Communities Healthy Start of San Bernardino County, and participate in the Sankofa Birthworkers Collective.
These connections help bring birth workers, community voices, and healthcare professionals into the same conversation.
I serve as Board Secretary of Diversity Uplifts, Inc. and as President of the Inland Empire Chapter of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists.
These leadership roles allow me to contribute to professional development, collaboration, and stronger behavioral and maternal health communities.
“From the therapy room to the community table, my commitment remains the same: ensuring families are seen, heard, valued, and supported.”
