My Story
My journey has been one of profound transformation, driven by a passion for supporting individuals and couples who navigate the complexities of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). With a Doctoral degree in Ministry, I see my work as both a scholarly pursuit and a spiritual calling, deeply rooted in fostering healing and gratitude.
​
My understanding of trauma's impact on individuals and relationships began with personal experience. As a spouse of a PTSD survivor, I faced firsthand the challenges that come with this condition. This fueled my passion for creating resources that offer practical guidance and emotional support. My books, including "Daily Reflections: Navigating PTSD Together With Gratitude" and "Healing Gratitude: Navigating PTSD Together," are designed to be daily companions for those affected by PTSD, providing insights and exercises to foster personal growth and resilience.
​
I firmly believe in the power of gratitude to transform lives. Gratitude, for me, is a transformative emotion that helps individuals cope with trauma and its effects. My books are interactive, encouraging readers to reflect on their experiences and engage in mindful practices that enhance their understanding and appreciation of life. My work extends beyond writing. I am a passionate speaker and advocate, sharing insights on the importance of gratitude and the impact of trauma on mental health. My presentations blend heartfelt narratives with practical advice, inspiring audiences to embrace gratitude as a tool for healing and growth.
​
My academic journey has been pivotal to my work. I hold a Doctoral degree in Ministry, reflecting my commitment to guiding others on their spiritual and emotional journeys. My Filipino heritage has shaped my values of compassion and community, driving me to foster equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging in all my endeavors.
As a strategic advisor at a state psychiatric hospital in the Pacific Northwest, I have dedicated my life to mental health advocacy and spiritual care. My work is enriched by my lived experiences and academic research, making me a powerful voice in the fields of mental health and spiritual care. My commitment to community advocacy is evident in my efforts to create inclusive environments and support those affected by PTSD.
​
Through my work, I have touched countless lives, offering hope and support to those navigating the complexities of PTSD. My dedication to fostering healing and gratitude has created a lasting impact, empowering individuals and couples to overcome their challenges and build stronger, more resilient relationships.
