I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I received my master’s degree in human development and Family Studies with a specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy from Colorado State University and received my bachelor’s degree from Western Washington University in Sociology, Psychology, and Anthropology.
