Great to meet you!

As a licensed clinical professional counselor with over 30 years of experience working with families, parents children and adults and young adutls, I understand the importance of good mental health.

I am highly work with clients in their day-to-day functioning due to stress, depression, anxiety, emotional distress and trauma. We can navigate family issues, grief, school challenges, relationships, hard days, and work life balance, together.

Now that you've chosen to take that next step, I am here for you as a committed, passionate, and qualified clinician. I am shifting to working with teens, adults, and parents seeking more specialized support.

My approach to therapy

As a clinician, I believe in meeting clients where they are because there is no one-size-fits-all approach. I am committed to understanding the individual, and I hope that with each session, the client leaves with their dignity and respect.

What you can expect from me

From the onset, I want clients to be able to share their story in their own voice. My goal is to actively listen and convey to the client that they have been heard, and I'm here to partner with them as they move towards the desired change.
