I have a PhD in Clinical Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute in Carpinteria, California. My studies were based in Jungian and other psychodynamic theories. I learned cognitive and humanistic therapy as part of my studies. I have a strong belief in the potential for growth in each individual. My goal is to nurture the patient’s sense of authenticity and peace at each of life’s stages. I aim to promote honest communication with the self and with others. I believe that reflection on past events and emotions shines a light on present life and helps people to live fully in the present. This prepares a firm launching pad to develop a balanced viewpoint on life and move forward to maximize potential. I believe that there is not one specific path but several paths that merge to create a life full of purpose and peace.
