I firmly believe that every client is entitled to an enriching life. My goal is to motivate clients in ascertaining their inner strengths, abilities, and inspirations. I have an extensive background in treating clients with depression, anxiety, trauma, sexual abuse, unresolved childhood trauma, substance abuse, identity issues, along with several other life struggles. I provide short-term therapy, trauma-informed, solution-focused therapy, and addiction recovery.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I strive to assist clients in reaching their emotional well-being by tapping into their inner strengths while building a strong sense of self and community. It is my passion to take a collaborative approach in guiding clients in reaching their authentic self. In my training as a mental health therapist, I have experience with treating various populations, including working with adult women and men, families of various race, socioeconomic status, sexual orientations, and cultural backgrounds.

My older brothers inspired me to become a therapist. If they had a safe adult to turn to for support, they would not have engaged in a lot of toxic behaviors they were exposed to during childhood and young adulthood. Ultimately I strive to help adults become the best version of themselves.

I enjoy being outdoors, baking and cooking.

As a woman, I wear multiple hats. As a result, it’s important for me to set healthy boundaries and always strive to be present.

The Boys and Girls Clubs of America is my favorite non-profit. During my childhood I was an active member, it was my home away from home. My children currently attend at our local Boys and Girls Club. I donate and volunteer as much as possible.

My family and I often go camping to areas that have no reception, which helps me disconnect from all electronics.
