Great to meet you!

Asking for help is the best decision you can make when facing a life transition. I am here to help you put the pieces together during these times. I am passionate about meeting clients where they are in their life's journey by providing a safe and non-judgmental space, while encouraging them to reach their full potential.

I have nearly 20 years experience working with people from various backgrounds. I work with individuals 20-60 years of age. I work with all stages of couples; non married, engaged, married and dating. I also offer Christian therapy for those who wish to incorporate their faith within the therapy journey.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in life's transitions such as; change in career, loss of job, new job, going to school, marriage, divorce, long term relationships, birth, death of love ones, empty ness, retirement and finding your true self.

What you can expect from me

To be in a healthy functional relationship with themselves.
