I am excited to bring my passion and experience as a former Secret Service agent, mental health counselor, wife and mother to my newest role, serving as a member of Carlsbad City Council. In addition to working as a community volunteer, I currently own and operate a successful counseling practice here in Carlsbad and enjoy spending time with my family. Being on the City Council is now allowing me to serve the community in new ways and give back to a city that has given so much to me.
