About

I am currently a first year graduate student at Pacifica Graduate Institute. After graduating Magna Cum Laude in three and a half years at Point Loma Nazarene University, where I received my BA in Psychology, I was accepted into the Phd in Clinical Psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute. This doctoral program is unique in its focus on Depth Psychology as a means of tending to the souls of individuals and our world. I aim to pursue licensure as a psychologist in the state of California and to eventually become a professor at the Graduate or Undergraduate level.
