James Baldwin once said, “Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.” These words reflect my goal as a Clinical Social Worker. I believe it is significant to see people at their most vulnerable and authentic selves. I have spent most of my career working in the mental illness field, empowering my clients to nurture themselves holistically by encouraging them to step out of their comfort zones and explore new life skills. My life has been dedicated to serving as an advocate for the marginalized and underrepresented in society.

My motivation is to uplift people in their time of need, while empowering them to become stable and successful contributors to society. I specialize in CBT, DBT, CPT, motivational interviewing and substance use therapy. If you have had some major life changes, substance abuse issues, trauma or difficulty adjusting to change, I am here to be a guide to take you through your transition to be your best possible self.

Empowerment and the coping skills to promote resilience.
