About Me I was born and raised in Southern California where I am now raising my own family. While I was blessed in many ways growing up, I also began enduring hardships at a young age. Mindful reflection on my past experiences, family dynamics, and gravitation toward those in need catapulted my decision to pursue a career as a Marriage and Family Therapist. In the 12+ years that I have been professionally practicing, it has been an honor to come alongside others and support them through life's challenges and the process of healing from emotional pain.
