My journey of self-discovery has led me here and now. As most people do, we have hopes, dreams, and plans for our lives and aim for fulfillment. We do not always anticipate some of the obstacles that suddenly require a helping hand, a steppingstone, or a bridge. If you are currently experiencing any such challenge in your life, please reach out for help and support. I can provide counseling for individuals and the entire family. If you or your family is being impacted by addiction, relationship challenges, daily life stressors and disruptions and mental health concerns including depression and anxiety, your time might be now to receive some help.

I am skillful in helping families target the core issues that they are working through, whether driven by addiction or underlying mental health or dynamic factors. I employ strength based, cognitive behavioral techniques and a range of other modalities to achieve outlined goals. My role would be to listen, support, guide and to be transparent at all times.

Fear often holds us back from making a change or accepting help. Facing my fears has carved this amazing opportunity for me to help you. My years in the field has deepened my compassion for helping others of different cultural, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. I am inspired by those I helped on their journey and would love to do the same for you.

I did not choose the profession of social work—the profession chose me.

My journey began while working in customer service at a local grocery store. Even then, I recognized that I had a natural connection with people. I found myself listening, encouraging, and helping individuals navigate difficult situations and connect with the social systems and resources they needed. Looking back, I can see that those experiences were preparing me for the work I would eventually be called to do.

My journey into social work was not simply a career choice; it was part of God's plan for my life. The Lord placed a promise in my heart that I would earn my master's degree at the age of 44. I held onto that promise even when the journey was challenging.

At the age of 44, I was awarded my Master of Social Work degree, fulfilling a promise I believed God had made to me.

Today, as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I consider it an honor to walk alongside individuals as they navigate life's challenges, discover their strengths, and work toward meaningful growth and change.

My journey has taught me that sometimes the path we are on is greater than the path we originally planned—and what we believe is simply a career can become a calling.

Hello, I am glad you are here. Taking the first step towards your mental health is a big step, and I want you to know that you will be welcome with kindness, understanding, and zero judgment.

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a unique background. Before becoming a provider, I spent 9 years as a registered nurse working closely with people experiencing mental health challenges. That experience taught me the importance of listening, understanding each person’s story, and treating the whole person not just the diagnosis. I earned my degree from Walden University and provide care for adolescents and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and bipolar disorder. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel heard, supported, and involved in your care.

Are you struggling with navigating anxiety, depression, a major life crisis that has you isolated, feeling hopeless, overwhelmed, misunderstood, or fearful of the world around you. Did you know that beyond the fear is freedom? What does that freedom look like for you? Let's figure it out together! The process of therapy can help you develop the tools and insight needed to take control and make positive changes in your life and/or relationships. I believe that a genuine connection between a therapist and a client is a key component of the therapeutic process.

It is my hope to provide you with a space where you will feel safe and connected. No matter why you seek therapy, my role as your provider can assist you on your journey of healing and self-discovery. Working together we can identify your unique strengths, explore patterns of behavior that limit your growth, and help you establish and attain goals.

My 15+ years of experience includes working with adults and families within diverse cultures. In addition to private practice, I also have experience in the hospital setting as a licensed clinical social worker.

Lets connect today, and get you started on a path of emotional freedom.

With over four decades of experience as a Licensed Psychologist, I bring a broad and varied experience to the therapeutic relationship. I have studied and utilized many theoretical outlooks and techniques and believe strongly in shaping methodology around the needs of my clients rather than attempting to mold the clients into theoretical formulations.
