“What mental health needs is more sunlight, more candor, and more unashamed conversation.” We live in a world where being human makes us susceptible to varying emotions, vulnerabilities, pain but also hope. At the end of the day, we choose to become who we are regardless of our lived experiences. We do not have control over the cards we are dealt, but we do have the ability to change our circumstances, perspectives, the energy, the time and focus we put into creating a better future, one that serves us. Self-love and acceptance is the driving force we all need. 10+ years of experience in crisis intervention, levels of varying community treatment.

As a psychotherapist, I’ve helped many look at the world through a different lens; by first looking within themselves and exploring these often suppressed emotions in the surface. I focus on person-centered, goal oriented treatment; use of empathetic, humanistic approach, but also challenging in order to assist you in pushing toward achieving greater overall wellness.

Affirmation, validation, and the motivation to persevere.
