Great to meet you!

Life is challenging. Within a context of supportive relationships, and with sincere efforts, people can thrive. I am here to be part of that support. My goal is to provide you with a safe, non-judgmental space to explore. Finding your true potential and living a fulfilled life is what I want for you.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I work with a diverse clientele. I am a licensed clinician with over 20 years of experience in the counseling field. I work with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, women issues, and life stressors. I combine person-centered approach with cognitive behavior therapy, mindfulness skills, and solution-focused therapy.

What you can expect from our first session

I provide a therapeutic environment that fosters empowerment and enrichment in the lives of others. I help my clients learn and develop skills to manage stressors and overcome the barriers that are standing in the way of their life goals.
