I decided two things early in my life: to become a Christian and to be a Counsellor. Both paths have been an intertwined journey with ups and downs. I bring my experience as I partner with clients; they continue to teach me about humanity. I consider it
a privilege to have been given the skills I have to offer encouragement and healing to others.
I have been in the counselling field for over 28 years working with individuals, groups, families & professionals.

EDUCATION AND TRAINING
I first completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from the California State University of Bakersfield, then earned my Master’s Degree in Counselling & Guidance from the University of Hawaii.
While residing in the United States, I was State Licensed and Nationally Certified. During that time, I started practicing as a Christian Counsellor in Colorado and then worked in Arizona on Christian clinical teams at all levels of counselling treatment: inpatient, residential, and outpatient. I received additional certification as a Life and Career Coach and training in Body Coaching.
I have worked in private practice as well as in a large Christian Counselling group practice that received referrals from many local churches. I experienced wonderful opportunities to design workshops for women and provide educational in-services to medical professionals, managed care groups, and school faculties. It has also been my privilege to be a speaker at national conferences in the USA and a guest on local and national radio programs. |
