Great to meet you!

Welcome! I'm a licensed clinical social worker, therapist, and woman of faith with over a decade of experience in helping women overcome a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, grief, intimacy/sex addictions, betrayal trauma, marital issues, family conflict, special needs families and major life transitions such as the journey of "motherhood."

My approach to therapy

My mission is to empower you on your path of restoration, growth, healing, and transformation, all while helping you stay grounded, focused, and driven. To facilitate this process, I am dedicated to promoting inner childhood trauma healing and working alongside individuals committed to breaking generational traumas. I also provide guidance to mothers seeking to enhance family functioning and communication.

What you can expect from me

My hope for you is to not only embrace your unique story but also to live an authentic and joyful life. Together, we will work on breaking toxic cycles that are no longer serving you. I will help you discover your strengths, set meaningful goals, and guide you toward the transformative changes you seek.
