She graduated with a doctorate in Educational Leadership from the University of Southern California where she researched the factors that influence the success of student mothers in higher education institutions.Her journey as a therapist has led her to work with clients throughout different stages of life. She began working with older adults particularly with end-of-life issues before she transitioned into working with adults and couples. During her time working with adults, she mostly worked with women in their twenties and thirties, to manage difficult emotions, set appropriate boundaries, discover their resources, and ultimately grow into feeling confident and competent in themselves.

Some of the experiences that she navigated, especially in the beginning, led her to seek specialized training in working with moms but especially with mamas of color.
