About Me

 I have been married for 10 1/2 years to my best friend, Kara and we have three amazing children.

I received my undergraduate degree at ASU with a Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies with concentrations in psychology and sociology.

I received my masters from ASU in social work. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in private practice. I specialize in addiction, marriage and stress reduction. I have worked extensively with those with gambling, sex and substance addictions.

I conduct seminars on parent/teen communication, addiction and stress.

I created this site because I have found that stress and people's inability to cope with it effectively are at the root of many people's problems. Unfortunately we go through life and school and somehow miss some of the most important and useful information out there. I want to be able to provide a place where people can go and find free information and how to deal with the stress in their life. I also want them to know they are not alone. Hopefully, not only the information I post, but the comments of others will be a valuable resource in living a more stress free life.

I am currently pursuing certifications in holistic mental health and personal training. I am excited about this because I believe that our physical well being is crucial to our coping with stress! Look forward for more in-depth information these topics in the future.
