 My journey in the helping professions began in 1992 as a nurse, fueled by a deep desire to make a difference in people's lives. This early experience ignited my commitment to supporting others and set the stage for a transformative career dedicated to service and empowerment. In 1995, I made a heartfelt leap into the mental health field,  over 27 years to assisting individuals with diverse diagnoses and varying levels of need, all while ensuring that my work is rooted in my faith.

Throughout this journey, I have worn many hats, from direct care roles to management positions, which has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of client care and its profound impact on individuals and their families. A highlight of my career has been my collaboration with California Regional Centers to create non-aversive protocols and behavioral programs—an initiative that remains a source of pride as it continues to benefit those we serve today. My love for God is the center of my work, guiding my approach and client interactions.

With a specialization in Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA), I have passionately led teams, trained professionals, and developed programs that foster positive, lasting change. My academic journey, which includes studies in Psychology, Applied Behavioral Analysis, and Leadership at Azusa Pacific University, has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to make a meaningful impact in the lives of others. In 2014, I took a significant step by becoming a Certified Professional Coach, blending my medical and mental health expertise with coaching to empower individuals toward profound personal growth and transformation. Together, we will embark on a journey of transformation, unlocking potential and creating a future filled with opportunities, all grounded in faith and purpose.
