Great to meet you!

I want to help you reach your ideal happiness! Together, we will pinpoint your stressors then work on minimizing your stresses and uncertainties. I will help you identify your ideal happiness goals and help make a plan to help you reach them. My belief is that everyone has the right and potential to reach their ultimate happiness. Sometimes, all we need is just one helping hand.

A bit about my approach to therapy

The approaches I use are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Strength-Based Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and crisis management. Many times, I use a combination of all these theories.

What you can expect from our first session

My goal is to help you get a fresh look at your situation and life. I want to help you understand you are strong and can overcome your challenges to reach your goals that may have always seemed out of reach.
