I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over two decades of experience in healthcare and mental health, and the founder of Divine Concepts Counseling Inc. and Divine Concepts Freedom Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. My life’s work has been shaped by both professional training and deeply personal experience, walking alongside people through trauma, addiction, shame, anxiety, depression, relationship rupture, and spiritual disconnection.

Before becoming a counselor, I served for more than 20 years as a paramedic, emergency room nurse, and cardiac nurse. That background gave me a profound understanding of the connection between emotional pain, the nervous system, and physical health. Over time, I came to see that many people were suffering not because they were “broken,” but because they were carrying unresolved wounds, false beliefs, and unprocessed emotions, often rooted in childhood, trauma, or toxic shame.

 My commitment to Divine Concepts Counseling is grounded in the belief that healing requires more than symptom management. True change happens when people develop self-awareness, learn to regulate their nervous systems, understand their core beliefs, and replace maladaptive coping strategies with healthier, life-giving ones. In my private practice, I integrate evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, trauma-informed care, and attachment theory, while also honoring each client’s personal values and spiritual framework.
