Great to meet you!

Growing up in a single-parent household, I realized very early on in my youth that life has the ability to be a struggle. However, I also saw firsthand, that with the support of friends and family, we can embrace our innate resiliency and even help others do the same.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is client-centered and a collaborative process. I utilize a combination of trauma-informed, person-centered, and attachment-based approaches. Using clinical skills, spirituality, and relational tools, I offer a safe place for individuals from all walks of life.

What you can expect from me

During our initial sessions, we will collaborate and create a plan for addressing areas of concern. During our time together, you will better understand and make meaning of challenges.
