Great to meet you!

I am often told that I am easy to open up to and talk to. My open-heart and open mind fosters relatability with clients of all ages. I provide empathetic and active listening to ensure my clients feel heard. My client's livelihood means a lot to me so I take their problems as serious as I take my own because of how much I care.

With over 10years of experience, I help children, teens and adults in individual, group, family and couple sessions. I am certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Sex Therapy. I am also a Registered Yoga Instructor where I use Trauma Informed Yoga.
