My dedication extends beyond academics; I've also conducted workshops and seminars to heighten mental health awareness among churches and minority groups. A central focus of my mission has been equipping pastors and lay leaders to address the mental health needs within their communities using culturally appropriate strategies. Throughout my professional journey, I've explored diverse areas of research, with an emphasis on multicultural counseling, the spiritual and character development of emerging counselors, the empowerment of intra and interpersonal relationships, and effective pedagogy in online counselor education and supervision. This ongoing exploration has led me to contribute to various conferences, presentations, and published works. Additionally, I am an active member of the American Counseling Association (ACA); Association of Counselors Education & Supervision (ACES); Association for Spiritual, Ethical and Religious Values in Counseling (ASERVIC); and Chi Sigma Iota (CSI) honor society.

On a personal note, my life is deeply anchored in my faith as a follower of Christ. Beyond my professional identity, I find immense joy as a devoted wife and mother to two wonderful daughters. The presence of my beloved teddy bear dog, Spring, adds a touch of warmth to our family. My personal and professional experiences have taught me that mental health is holistic, encompassing the mind, body, and spirit. As a counselor, I am committed to providing compassionate, culturally sensitive, and evidence-based counseling that may help you cultivate awareness, inspire hope, and pave the way for freedom.
