Lava joined the Healthy Within Team in June of 2023. She just recently graduated in May with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from San Diego State University, and is aspiring to specialize in the fields of Neuropsychology and Neuroscience as she progresses in higher Education to become a Clinical Neuropsychologist! 

She has always believed that every brain is unique in its perception of life and functioning within it as it impacts psychological and physiological health. She also has always believed that medication alone does not alleviate all that needs to be healed. Especially with personal knowledge and experience with conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder and Alzheimer’s in her family, she has been intrigued with how the brain alone has so much power and dominance in modifying many behaviors, emotions, and health conditions of people. She has been interested in different therapeutic approaches that help reduce the effect of conditions, and Neurofeedback is one of them! To be able to alter the activity of the brain in different, specific regions, for various health issues and diseases, is a life-lasting fascination she will continue to learn from and pass on to the following generations.
