Introduction

Hello, my name is Venette and I am a transplant from San Diego. My primary areas of focus are anxiety/panic disorders, mood disorders, PTSD, adjustment disorder, cultural and ethnic issues, spiritual and faith-based counseling, and working with the veteran/military connected population. As a 20-year Marine Corps veteran myself, I am both confident and comfortable serving this population that I have proudly identified with for the last three decades. I have witnessed through my own children, stepchildren, spouse, and fellow veterans, the psychological distress that comes from serving in the military. From deployments, frequent moves, to even transitioning to the civilian sector, dealing with these life stressors alone can be quite challenging and sometimes harmful. My passion for helping others developed while serving in my collateral role as a Victim Advocate for military sexual assault victims during the last five years of my career. I bring a warm/practical approach to fit the needs and strengths of each person I serve. I will attend to your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, values, and beliefs as we work together to assist you in healing/learning/growing towards your goals. I will support you 24/7 through any crisis you may find yourself in and get you connected to the right resources.
