When my children were young, my family went through a transformative journey—from living in turmoil to embracing recovery. For over 35 years, we have committed ourselves to this lifestyle, fostering resilience, healing, and growth. As someone who has been a child, a wife, and a parent to loved ones grappling with compulsive disorders, I understand the profound challenges habitual behaviors can impose. These challenges often feel overwhelming, casting a shadow of fear and uncertainty. Yet, through perseverance, support, and education, I have seen firsthand how change is possible—even in the most difficult circumstances.

Today, I draw from my personal journey and professional expertise to guide families navigating the complexities of compulsive behaviors. I firmly believe that no family is beyond transformation. With the right tools, guidance, and unwavering support, hopelessness can evolve into trust, and fear can give way to honesty and connection. My approach is grounded in empathy, and my goal is to help families rediscover joy and peace in their relationships.

In recent years, I have had the privilege of working closely with adolescents as they face the unique challenges of today’s society. There is no greater reward than witnessing a young person develop the confidence to let go of high-risk behaviors and seeing a family come together in harmony. Each success story fuels my passion and reinforces my belief in the resilience of the human spirit.

I have been a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) for over 25 years. I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from the University of Houston and my Master’s Degree in Chemical Dependency Counseling from California Southern University. My extensive experience in the field has provided me with a deep understanding of habitual behaviors and recovery, enabling me to tailor my approach to meet each client’s unique needs. This journey of helping others continues to inspire and energize me every day.

Outside of my professional life, I am blessed with a vibrant and loving family, including numerous grandchildren who bring boundless joy and laughter into my life. My husband and I cherish opportunities to travel and explore new places, creating memories along the way. Whether I am spending time with my family or helping clients overcome life’s challenges, I approach every day with gratitude and purpose.
