I am beyond honored and blessed to witness you and your story. I am moved by the transformations I witness in my room every day. It takes a tremendous amount of courage to open your heart and share the most intimate details of your life and I don’t take that lightly.
It was during my own therapy for healing from the trauma of a 20-year abusive marriage that I was called by God to “give away what I had received”. At the age of 50, I went home to my new husband of 3 months and told him that I was going to enroll in college. I had no idea at the time what that would require. It has been the most challenging and rewarding journey of my life thus far.
Most people come to therapy because something is not working in their life now. Rarely do we consider that it probably has more to do with our past than our present. It is in discovering the negative mindsets that have become our core beliefs that we are able to gain the insight and wisdom to change what is keeping us stuck.
We end up living our life out of the negative beliefs that we have taken as our own and written upon our soul. We take them with us into our relationships; we make life decisions based on them. In essence, those negative mindsets/beliefs become our way of being.
I was born and raised in Red Bluff, California. I raised my kids and spent most of my adult life in Southern California until returning to Northern California and settling in Redding nine years ago.
I am married to the love of my life and between us we have 6 adult children, 4 of whom are married, together with 6 grandchildren.
I graduated with my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Vanguard University in Costa Mesa, California and from Simpson University in Redding, California with my Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology.
I am a certified EMDR Therapist and owner of The Sound Mind. It is my honor and privilege to walk alongside you on your healing journey.
I am a Clinical Supervisor and love to develop therapists and coaches into becoming who they want to be.
