Welcome to Blue Jay Family Services where all are welcome, accepted, and heard. Blue Jays symbolize communication, persistence, and planning for the future. My goal is to help you communicate your needs and feelings, persist through the challenges of healing and growth, and plan for a future where you are able to utilize what you have learned.
Taking the first step towards emotional healing can be difficult as life is full of ups and downs, and sometimes we need a little help along the way. My goal is to assist clients in understanding that they are the expert on themselves. I work to assist clients with understanding the feelings and emotions that have been causing them distress. I provide a safe environment for clients to explore their emotions and work towards restructuring the way they think with the goal of long term healing.
You are being pushed to evolve and step out of your comfort zone so that you can achieve your emotional and healing goals. I have learned to channel all of my experiences, negative and positive into this work. Every journey begins with a first step and I would be honored to take that first step with you.

Experience
I received my Bachelors in Criminal Justice at Cal State Long Beach, and my Masters degree in Social Work at Cal State Los Angeles.
I have extensive experience in the social work field having worked with the Department of Public Social Services, the Department of Children and Family Services for various counties, various rehabilitation programs, the homeless, at risk youth, young mothers, and domestic violence survivors, to name a few.
I established Blue Jay Family Services in the Inland Empire because it’s where I grew up, and where I want to continue to help others achieve their emotional healing goals.
