Great to meet you!

With 18+ years in mental health, I've empowered individuals and families as a therapist, coach, social worker, school supervisor, and district director. Passionate about resilience, I've implemented trauma-informed care that positively impacts those with traumatic pasts. Dedicated to helping others overcome their challenges, I believe in their strength and potential.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach focuses on creating a nurturing and inclusive space where individuals can feel comfortable and accepted. By cultivating a strong rapport with my clients, I aim to understand their unique needs and concerns. Building a foundation of trust allows us to delve into the underlying causes of their challenges, going beyond superficial issues. By making therapy engaging and purposeful, we can work together towards lasting growth and positive change.

What you can expect from me

I help clients feel supported as they explore techniques that work for them. Through self-discovery, they learn about themselves and find health solutions. Together, we create a personalized approach to enhance their well-being.
