My early clinical training included work at City of Hope Medical Center providing psychological services to chronically ill children and their families — an experience that continues to inform my work with medical trauma and childhood illness survivorship. Before returning full-time to private practice, I served as Director of Continuing Education and Associate Professor at Hope International University, and as Coordinator of Clinical Training at Pacific Counseling Center, where I supervised MFT and doctoral students. I have also served on the boards of Project Hope Alliance and the Saint Andrews By the Sea Foundation.
