Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor providing individual and family tele-therapy. I began my professional mental health journey 19 years ago and I truly love what I do; this is my niche as well as my passion. In addition to the treatment areas highlighted on my page, some of my other specialties include helping individuals overcome difficulties with chronic stress, personal growth & self-esteem, self-care, life transitions, and sex & intimacy.

My approach to therapy

I think being mentally healthy requires you to put yourself first before anything or anyone else. My views are unbiased, and I am a very open-minded, down to earth practitioner. I am eclectic and can adapt to any situation that warrants change, or one that just needs us to focus on your needs and wants of the present moment.

What you can expect from me

We are human and we are definitely allowed to feel confused...sad...angry. But, we are also entitled to be content and fulfilled, whatever that may look like for YOU. Together, we will assess your struggles and circumstances, and help you unbox your thoughts, feelings, and tendencies, all with the utmost optimism in achieving your mental health goals. Your wellbeing is in good hands!
