Great to meet you!

I became a licensed professional counselor because I am passionate about helping adults who have the desire to have balance in their life.


Dealing with life challenges is overwhelming. And sometimes it is difficult to get back on track especially when you find yourself short of your expectations. The influence of culture, society and technology can create a false sense of personal inadequacy.

My approach to therapy

My style is to challenge, and I will absolutely do more than just actively listen. You should leave every session with clarity.

What you can expect from me

No matter where you are at in your journey, I believe that there is always hope – regardless of what life has thrown at you or what you’ve tried before.


I will help you find the answers to what is getting in the way and I will show you how to get the life you want.


You deserve better than just getting by, you deserve to thrive.
