Even though I was born and raised in San Diego, I have always had a
passion for seeing new places. I have traveled around the world and have had
amazing experiences. I have studied two martial arts for nearly ten years and had
a wonderful opportunity to train for a short time in Japan with terrific people. 

I spent nearly half a month in India with my cohort working with and
studding the social work programs both in major cities and rural areas. While
there I got to see the beautiful architecture and marvels that man is capable of
as well as poverty like no other place I have ever seen or witnessed. India was
an eye opening experience that helped form a better understanding of what we take
for granted every day.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT 114798) and received a
Doctorate of Psychology (Psy.D) in Marriage and Family Therapy from
Alliant International University (California School of Professional Psychology).
I also received a masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Alliant.
