All our lives have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and many other life stressors. When human beings experience trauma or severe life pressures, it is not uncommon for their lives to become unmanageable.
My purpose in life, is to bring healing, faith and healthy coping skills to people who have been through a traumatic/stressful experience. I assist my clients, who include children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families find healthy perceptions of themselves, and strengthen their relationships so they can know themselves as caring, loving, complete, and safe. I know that no one single approach is the right one for everyone, so I have been trained in various modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Faith-based Counseling approaches.
I am a retired Air Force veteran and served during the Persian Gulf War to liberate Kuwait. I have also served as a Community Chaplain with the Sacramento County Law Enforcement Chaplaincy.
My educational background includes a MA in Counselor Education from California State University-Sacramento, a MA in Health Care Administration from San Jose State University, and a BA in Health Science from San Jose State University. I am available to provide services in both English and Spanish.
