Great to meet you!

I have over 20 years of experience in the behavioral health field and 10 years in higher education. I see the therapeutic relationship as a partnership and would like to assist you on your journey to wellness, empowerment, healing and peace.

Taking the first steps towards change can be courageous. If you are ready to take that journey towards wellness, I will be here to support, validate, and empower you.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach is cognitive-behavioral, solution focused, culturally sensitive, and trauma informed. I believe in individualized treatment to meet your specific needs.

What you can expect from me

I believe each session should leave you with insight, psychoeducation, a skill, and/or processing of a difficulty.
