Great to meet you!

I have over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, I am passionate about helping clients overcome their challenges and achieve their goals. I am a licensed psychotherapist and a certified cognitive behavioral therapist (CBT), specializing in anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, stress management, and life transition. I am trained in individual, couples, and family counseling.

I spent the first 22years of my career in psychiatric hospitals. I started off as a mental health technician, and I ended my hospital career as a Hospital Administrator. I have been a part of building some amazing clinical programs, so I know what struggles and frustrations people have experienced.

My approach to therapy

My counseling style is interactive, empowering, informative and I will help guide you through your struggles and feelings of being overwhelmed and not knowing what to do.

What you can expect from me

Clients will walk away feeling informed and educated about their behavior. They will walk away feeling supported and empowered so that they can have confidence in themselves. Client will walk away with healthy habits, the ability to provide self-care, and walking away with a better view of who they are as a person.
