Find a Doctor

Growing up in a family with dental phobia taught me that dentistry is not only looking at and fixing teeth, but providing a warm and comfortable environment that patients can look forward to. One of my main goals is to go on five humanitarian aid trips per year and provide dental care to under privileged patients across the world. These trips have opened my eyes and have showed me how many adults and children don’t have access to health or dental care. Working for community clinics enables me to continue helping and educating patients. I strive to help, educate patients and continue to be the person I always wanted to be when I was growing up.

As a bilingual Psychologist, I have experience working with diverse populations and a passion for working in community mental health. I have been licensed as a clinical Psychologist in California since 1999 and have been with Clinicas del Camino Real, Inc. since 2010. I feel fortunate to be part of a dedicated team committed to improving the lives and health of local families and enjoy working with both children and adults. My prior work experience includes counseling university students at Western Illinois University, working for the Access Team with Santa Cruz County Mental Health, and as an outpatient therapist at San Ysidro Mental Health Center. I am skilled in working with a range of mental health problems including mood and anxiety disorders, trauma and adjustment reactions, ADHD and behavior problems.
