Like you, I’ve always sought to feel a sense of confidence in myself. I strive to understand myself and the human experience, as this empowers me to cultivate a profound sense of meaning, hope, and inspiration. My fascination lies not just in understanding others, but also in deepening my own self-awareness.

As an only child raised in Southern California, I have dedicated a significant amount of time to researching and reflecting on why people behave the way they do. After earning my Doctorate in Psychology and becoming licensed in two states, I have successfully run a practice that provides valuable insight into helping individuals heal and improve their quality of life.

My academic journey began with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from San Francisco State University, followed by a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Washington State University. I then obtained my Doctorate in Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology at Alliant International University, accredited by COAMFTE, in Los Angeles, CA.

My doctoral dissertation focused on low-income caregivers experiences on government assistance while giving special attention to the impact of racism, classism and sexism on caregivers mental health and parent child relationships.
