I grew up in San Diego, California, and on June 4, 2004, I was widowed to the war in Iraq. In the years to follow, I would experience traumatic events, including but not limited to domestic violence, being a victim of sexual assault, and much more. These events in my life lit a fire within me to not just seek healing and success, but to assist others in finding their confidence, courage, and joy after experiencing their traumatic experiences. It became important to me to understand humans, how they respond to traumatic events, and how to make a comeback as a new and improved individual who achieves success in their life.

My background is in case management, focusing on assisting unhoused and at-risk individuals and their families to achieve stability. I have successfully assisted over 100 individuals and families in the last year in identifying their barriers, developing goals, and achieving them, drastically improving their lives while exposing their strengths, confidence, and courage.

I am a Clinical Psychology student attending a Christian University to obtain my Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in counselling.

I specialize in working with military veterans and women who have experienced domestic violence.

My belief is that our perceptions, actions, and behavior stem from who we are, what we have experienced, and the growth we make after those experiences. When we get stuck in life, it is because we are in a one-track mindset, and sometimes we need an introduction to new people, with different experiences and perceptions, to open us up to see the greatness that is within us.
