NOW ACCEPTING AND SERVING CHILDREN!! Have you ever felt lost or lonely while in a familiar or crowed place? Life throws many surprises at us, and while we cannot predict the outcome of any situation, we can take control of how we respond to certain situations. I first developed a passion for therapy when I hit a roadblock in my own life and was struggling to move past it. I specialize in helping people identify and achieve their personal goals by coping with the issues that are causing them distress, anxiety, and discomfort.


Unfortunately, life doesn't always allow us to be the best version of ourselves. With my help, you'll learn about acceptance and how to exert your power of choice over whatever life may throw at you. I take great pride in the progress and success of my clients.


My job is to give you the tools and techniques to achieve a balanced and fulfilling lifestyle. After several sessions, you will become well-versed at handling issues whenever and wherever they arise. Let's work together to put your life back in focus. I look forward to working with you.

Life has a way of leaving marks on us — and I've spent over 30 years helping people understand those marks, heal from them, and build something better on the other side.

My work has taken me into some of the most challenging spaces imaginable: elementary schools, detention centers, maximum-security prisons, psychiatric hospitals, and community-based settings. What I've learned from walking alongside people in those environments is that healing is possible anywhere — and that every person, no matter their background or story, deserves a therapist who genuinely sees them.
