Welcome

I am passionate about helping individuals, couples, teens, and families navigate life's challenges, strengthen relationships, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves. I believe meaningful change begins with a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust, empathy, and respect. I strive to create a welcoming and supportive environment where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered in their journey toward growth and healing.

My Clinical Approach

As a Christian, my clinical approach is informed by biblical principles and grounded in compassion, empathy, and respect. I believe each individual has the capacity for growth and change, and I view therapy as a collaborative partnership built on trust, genuineness, and mutual respect. Through a person-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-informed approach, I seek to help clients recognize their strengths, explore relationship patterns, develop self-awareness, and discover meaningful paths toward healing. I believe in meeting clients where they are, honoring their unique stories, and creating a safe, nonjudgmental space that respects their individual experiences, cultural backgrounds, values, and beliefs.

Areas of Focus

I enjoy supporting clients navigating faith and spirituality, relational conflict, life transitions, anxiety, depression, and the impact of trauma on daily life and relationships.

Education and Professional Background

I am currently pursuing my Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling at Point Loma Nazarene University. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology, with a minor in Business, Magna Cum Laude, from Texas A&M University–Central Texas / Tarleton State University. I am also a lifetime member of the Psi Chi International Honor Society. I bring more than 25 years of experience in the medical field, providing direct patient care, along with a longstanding commitment to volunteer service and community involvement. As a military

spouse, I served as a Senior Spouse Advisor, supporting military service members and their families as they navigated life's challenges, transitions, and loss. I have also worked with older adults in senior health and wellness coaching and program management, promoting wellness, social connection, and support through life's transitions.

My commitment to community service has been recognized through the Yellow Rose of Texas Award, presented by the Governor of Texas, and the Lady Trooper Award, presented by the Vice Chief of Staff of the United States Army.

A Little About Me

Born and raised in San Diego, California, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, traveling, exploring new experiences, crafting, and playing with my dogs. I value staying actively involved in my community and finding meaningful opportunities to connect with and support others.
