My training in psychology began early in my life. 
As a teenager I was introduced to individual and group therapy which helped me during difficult times and guided me through my transitions and growth.
I understood the value of Psychology and became fascinated by how much more clearly I could see the world and how much easier I could heal my emotional wounds.
As a young adult I attended many workshops and lectures on subjects related to self-esteem, communications, metaphysics, healing with light, chakra work and spirituality.
I spent many years studying unique healing techniques and became an avid reader of any material related to emotional and spiritual growth and healing.
My connection with spirituality came from my parents' influence and education. They taught me to believe in angels, the Universe and my soul's purpose.
Certains events in my life confirmed these beliefs and helped me develop and trust my intuition.
My education expanded as I completed my Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy in San Diego. I began providing counseling as I continued with extensive training in diverse healing methods such as EMDR, Art and Sand Tray Therapy and Self-Hypnosis.
I studied holistic and spiritual approaches such as Energy Psychology, EFT, Chakra and Prana healing, Meditation, Music, and more.
My interest in holistic psychotherapy, spirituality and energy healing was paired with my Ph.D. studies in Clinical Psychology, in Encinitas where I specialized in Expressive Arts techniques. Following my father's footsteps, I also became an Ordained Minister for the Universal Life Church, in Modesto, California, in order to continue providing spiritual support and counseling.
In over six years of providing holistic counseling, I have been a witness of amazing transformations and growth. Now in La Jolla Holistic Center, I feel honored to facilitate and be a part of many more transformations and awareness. Thanks to divine guidance, my knowledge, intuition and spritual connection with the Universe I am able to provide a very profound and transformational experience in my spiritual counseling practice.
My goal is to see you grow into bliss and love, and guide you out of the darkness and help you find your inner light and gifts.
My intention is to support you in your transitions, guide you through your challenges, and show you ways to heal yourself.
