Hello! I am honored you are visiting my profile. There are many possible reasons that you are here; fears, regrets, stagnating mindsets, relational problems, identity confusion, or maybe you feel you are not living up to your potential. Life can bring unexpected challenges that can disrupt your course and cause you to lose sight of the strength that is within you. Whatever may have brought you here, I assure you that you have found someone with great empathy and competence to understand your very human experience and walk with you to discover more peace, freedom and purpose.
The first 11 years of my career I worked with children and their families with a variety of emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges. I have extensive experience collaborating with the schools and parents helping children with a wide range of struggles to make improvements in their social, academic, and familial functioning.
I have been blessed with the opportunity to teach at APU the last five years which allows me to maintain engagement in the learning process, keeping me current with my counseling practices. I look forward to working with you to bring peace to your soul by approaching your life situations with a sensitivity to your cultural values.
