Hi! I’m a police wife of over a decade to my husband, Rick, and we have two sons, Maverick and Leonidas. Rick has worked for LAPD for over 18 years in specialized units and night shift the first 9 years of our marriage when our boys were babies and toddlers. As a Catholic convert raised in Hawaii by hippies, I am a blend of Christian and spiritual. I am a professionally trained social worker with a Bachelors, Masters, and Ph.D. in Social Work. I am an Associate Professor in Health at CSU Channel Islands. I have been supporting families, especially those who have experienced trauma for the past 20 years. I have also served on the Board of Directors for a nonprofit, the Brain Injury Center of Ventura County for decade.

In 2021, I started this blog and my Instagram page about police wife life. Since then, I have written and sold over 1000 police family books on Amazon and supported dozens of women in my offering coaching and courses. I truly understand many of the challenges you may go through, because I have overcome resentment, loneliness, frustration, and anxiety myself.
