About Me
Personal
As you learn about me and my practice, I hope you begin to feel that you are safe here to explore and transform your life. My most treasure my kiddos with their spouses and little ones~ I love them with all of my heart and am so proud of them all! I am happy and fulfilled, as I live actively in our warm Florida sunshine and salty waters. As I continue on my own journey, it is my passion to help others live with dignity and confidence in this one life we have.
Professional
As a late bloomer, I completed both an Associate degree and a Bachelor degree in my 40’s. I kept going, as I earned a Master degree in organizational leadership and development (OSR) at Seattle University. With these great foundations, I decided to pursue a psychology PhD program at Saybrook University. Along the way, I earned a clinical psychology Master degree in 2017 and expect my doctoral degree in 2025. My professional approach is compassionately grounded in the fullness of humanity and welcoming to people from all backgrounds. You can learn about my Services here.
About My Credentials and Clinical Training
A bit more about me~ I practice with an accepting and personable style to provide therapy as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (MH24371) in Florida. For clinical focus, I am trained in emotionally focused couple therapy (EFT), ethical Telehealth practices, and 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).
