Great to meet you!

I have been working in the mental health and human services field for over 18 years. As a social worker I have experience working with a diverse population of people from different backgrounds, religions and cultures who are seeking to make a change in their lives.

My approach to therapy

I have been dedicated to assisting people who are experiencing and suffering from depression, anxiety, substance use, grief and bereavement, PTSD and trauma, LGBTQ+ issues, relationship struggles, anger management and a specialty in helping people cope with life threatening illnesses. In life I believe there is no change without commitment. Using solution based therapies I am confident in my approach. I can help you find the change you are seeking and the healing that you need.

What you can expect from me

To develop self-awareness and understanding how to gain insight into your thoughts, feelings and behaviors to process them better and find healthier solutions to your problems.
