Using EMDR, I help clients safely process traumatic experiences that may be impacting their daily life, working at a pace that feels empowering. I focus on healing from trauma while also building coping skills and resilience, so clients can move forward with greater emotional balance and confidence.

Education
University of Guam, Master of Arts, Counseling, 2010 — I hold a Master of Arts in Counseling, which has equipped me with the skills and training to support clients through life’s challenges with compassion and evidence-based approaches. In addition to my professional practice, I am currently a full-time PhD student in psychology, deepening my expertise and staying current with the latest research to better serve those I work with.
Work HistoryIn my private practice, I work with adults to process trauma, manage stress, and navigate life transitions. I am trained in EMDR, a powerful approach for safely working through difficult memories, and I am currently pursuing a PhD in psychology, keeping my work informed by the latest research. I also spent over 20 years as a school counselor, supporting students from diverse backgrounds with academic, social, and emotional challenges.
