Great to meet you!

With a B.S. in Neuroscience and Behavior and a Master’s in Social Work specialized in trauma-informed care, my therapeutic approach involves using evidenced-based practices grounded in neurobiology and social science while integrating philosophies rooted in empowerment, values alignment, systems, and positive thinking. My experience includes substance abuse, parenting, stress management, adolescents, young adult males and women, academic issues, goal setting and purposeful living.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, during the therapeutic process, we can work on helping you feel supported, heard, and validated to restore your sense of belonging and hope. My goal is to assist you in finding your voice that can often be lost amid adversity and life’s challenges, discovering the light that can help you navigate through dark tunnels, and learning how to adapt through transitions while building resilience for personal growth.
