I knew I wanted to be a therapist when I saw several movies with therapist as the main character.

I believe change happens when we all work together to help each other.

Clients who get the most out of therapy with me are clients with variety of different issues and concerns.

Three words that describe my style are cultural competency, empathy and effective listening skills.

Something about me that is unique is I have ran several 10K and 5K races and running is a hobby and passion of mine.
