Great to meet you!

I’m a holistic practitioner with expertise in clinical social work, addiction counseling, yoga, reiki, and trauma assuring anyone struggling can find their voice. I promote healing, empowerment, and self-actualization by combining my tremendous learning and experiences. With a successful 20-year practice including individual, family, and group work, training and workshops, I continue to expand my expertise I’ve recently obtained certification in delivering yoga to individuals living with cancer.

My approach to therapy

My method in working with clients is simple: to create a safe & non-judgmental space for self expression where they can uncover and be empowered by their own unique strengths. I believe that effective therapy is less about “fixing issues” and more of being an advocate for individuals to make proactive changes in their own lives.


Reach out and take the next step. It is possible to create a life you love.

What you can expect from me
