Biography

I am an alumnus of Cal Poly Pomona University, with a BA in Psychology with an emphasis in early childhood, and Pacific Oaks College with an MAMFT in 2002. I currently have the privilege of being a senior adjunct faculty here at Pacific Oaks on the Pasadena campus.

My passion has always been prevention. I resigned from my practice about seven years ago and work as a Parenting/Lifestyle/Nutrition Coach and speaker. My practice before and is currently filled with parents and children. My work now is to help create and facilitate the healthy attachments of parents to their children. As a Certified Nutrition Consultant and Certified Master Clinical Herbalist, I connect the mind with the body. I am passionate about little people and helping families find connections that propel them toward the health of the mind, body, spirit, and humanity

Please describe your teaching philosophy.

I believe that the classroom is an environment of community learners where we all benefit from the insight and wisdom of the group. An environment of safety and open communication is vital for learning to occur.
