About

I'm a Mom, Professor, Therapist, minister, 4x published author & inspirational keynote speaker

I wear many hats and have gained over 20 years of experience in the field of Human and Behavioral Services. Over nine years ago, I co-founded Cucamonga Counseling, a mental health group therapy practice. I've worked as a college professor for over 11 years, and have three children. With multiple responsibilities and expectations, I learned the necessity of a healthy and balanced mindset and the importance of self-care. Yet, it took me going through an experience of an unbalanced mindset that brought about change. Now I am dedicated to teaching others the importance of mental wellness.

I teach in the Social Work Department at a local University. I am an avid reader and I've always been known to carry a romance novel with me wherever I go. I have a Doctorate of Education Degree in Organizational Leadership with an Emphasis in Behavioral Health. I'm a firm believer in taking care of self, as a way to maintain a balanced mindset, well-being, happiness, and peace.I love sharing inspiring knowledge with others and helping individuals become motivated for change.

my experience of an unbalanced mindset

Being the mother of three, wife to a Pastor, business owner, eldest daughter, and confidant to many people became overwhelmingly unbearable. I hadn't learned what it meant to take care of my needs first. I didn't know how to say "no" to others without feeling guilty. I didn't know how allow others to fix their own problems without me trying to help them navigate the chaos of their own lives. All of these factors led to my mindset being unhealthy and unbalanced. It was during this dark and low moment, that I learned how to change my mindset, find balance, and obtain mental wellness.

The value of having peace is priceless, and the cost of not having a balanced mindset is too high. As a speaker, I provide valuable resources and tools on how find peace, balance, joy, motivation, purpose, self-confidence, self-love, and acceptance. DON'T WAIT, RESERVE MY SERVICES TODAY!!

Anne in california -amazon reviewer

"I really enjoyed reading this book, it was just right on point with quotes of positive reassurance and helping realize your own perspective of how to enjoy yourself by slowing down the fast pace life one is living. Another thing I enjoyed is the book was not overwhelming in length, it was just the right amount of reading on self-contemplation. I also enjoyed how the author shared her background and parts of her upbringing, it was genuine. After I was down reading it, I gave it to my tween to read. Once she is down I am getting it back just to have it nearby for whenever I need to self-motivate myself."

DivaShaw - Amazon reviewer

"If you are looking for motivation and empowerment then this book is for you. Inspirational quotes with words of encourage throughout the entire book. It's definitely a book to keep handy!"
