Thank you for considering me as your personal mental health therapist and emotions coach. Over the last few years, we have collectively endured traumatic, distressing, and challenging times that have reshaped how we view the world and how we choose to move forward within it. For many, this has meant clinging to familiar beliefs for comfort. For others, the weight of trauma, hopelessness, and fatigue has left them feeling stuck, unable to access their inner strengths or resilience. I believe that in those moments, we all need someone to help guide us back from the darkness into the light. I want to be that beacon of light for you.

I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional with more than 15 years of counseling experience and over 20 years of serving families. My treatment philosophy is rooted in the belief that every individual has strengths that can be nurtured to foster healing and growth. By combining psychotherapy and clinical social work theories within a strength-based model, I help clients build coping strategies, discover new tools, and reclaim their sense of well-being.

Our work together will focus on developing a trusting, supportive, and confidential therapeutic relationship—one that is grounded in empathy, respect, and validation, without pity or blame. My practice integrates Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, all within a behavioral change framework. These approaches allow me to tailor therapy to your unique needs, helping you move forward with resilience, clarity, and hope.

Healing is a journey, and you don’t have to walk it alone. My role is to walk beside you, providing guidance, insight, and encouragement as you rediscover your strength and reclaim your light.

I'm a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional however I believe that many symptoms may derive from the need for an integrative healthcare approach. Insight building into trauma and mood regulation should be assessed from the inside out, from environmental to internal sensory impacts, and from spiritual and metaphysical practices. I have worked with several clients who came believing the pathology of their dysfunction was easily explained by a simple biological mood disorder when the cause and effect was more centered in the need for better self-care, dieting, and environmental impacts.

I believe that many of my clients have preconceived ideas about their diagnosis but are not able to fully explain their disorder in clinical terms and how they impair their functionality. I will educate and build insight into clinical mood disorders to help my client better understand disorders and how they impact them on a clinically significant level.
