About Me
Personal
The proudest thing about me are my two adult kiddos with their spouses and four little ones~ I love them with all of my heart. My life is happy and full, here in our warm Florida sunshine and salty waters. As I continue in my own life, it is my passion to help others live with dignity and confidence as they honor their way forward.
Professional
As a late bloomer, I completed both an Associate degree and a Bachelor degree in my 40’s. Then I earned a Master degree in organizational leadership and development (OSR) at Seattle University. This was a great foundation for my current psychology PhD program at Saybrook University, where I earned a clinical psychology Master degree in 2017. My Saybrook doctoral dissertation is in progress with completion expected in 2025. My practice is compassionately grounded in the fullness of humanity, including our LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC folks, as well as other marginalized people~ all are welcome!

Credentials and Clinical Training
With care and compassion, I provide therapy as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (MH24371) in Florida. For clinical focus, I have training in emotionally focused couple therapy (EFT), ethical Telehealth practices, and a Saybrook University certificate in clinical hypnosis. To prepare for disaster and trauma-responsive care, I have completed crisis/disaster response courses, Acute Stress Syndrome Stabilization Therapy (ASSYST) training, and will soon complete a certificate in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
