About
Higher education began for me at 47 years old. After raising my three children, I decided it was time to put myself first and pursue a higher education. Regret had haunted me for 26 years: I had beat myself up in ways even I did not realize for never finishing college in my young 20's. It was this life experience of regret and tapping into my own emotional traumas through so many years of living - and with that the accompanying wisdom - that spawned my desire to pursue a career in helping others. I graduate with my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology in May 2025 and will attend my Southern New Hampshire University commencement ceremony in November 2025. This day will be one of the best days of my life. I will attend graduate school to pursue my LMFT in my home state of California. It is my life's passion to assist others in reframing those inner voices, to tap into the inner power and grit they do not yet realize they have within them, and in doing so to hope to make my own community a more harmonious and balanced place.
