Great to meet you!

I offer a wide range of therapeutic services, including individual therapy for adolescents, and adults. I specialize in creating a supportive environment where clients can explore personal challenges, improve communication, and work toward healthier relationships. My experience extends to school counseling, working with high school students to foster emotional resilience, addressing academic stress, and promoting mental well-being. I facilitate group sessions, providing participants with a collaborative space to connect with peers and developing coping strategies for navigating life’s challenges.

Hi, and welcome to my space! I have been in the mental health field for over 19years. I am so elated to grow alongside you as change is inevitable, so is my desire to evolve. I have a primary focus on Trauma, Self-Injurious behaviors, and Suicidality; but have experience with working with family/ marital issues and those who struggle with depression and anxiety. While these are my focus areas, I am well versed in others as my training within coursework, and direct supervision has given me the opportunity to support many others.
