Many warm welcomes to you! I believe that life can be heavy at times, and my purpose is to help lighten the load and be a source of light during dark times. Laughter, a good conversation, a warm hug, or a walk in nature can do wonders for the human spirit. Unfortunately, our society isn't always conducive to our well-being, which is why it's essential to unlearn some things and search within ourselves to find inner peace. It's an honor to accompany you on that journey.

Throughout my career, I've worked with clients from different cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds and age groups. My areas of specialization include perinatal, adolescents, young adults, geriatric, veterans, LGBTQ+, and those living with substance-use disorder. I use an array of therapeutic approaches, such as person-centered, existential-humanistic, transpersonal, narrative, expressive-arts, nature-based, solution-focused, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. My practice is built on strengths-based, client-centered, and trauma-informed care. I believe that we all possess innate resilience that makes us stronger than anything life throws at us.

My ultimate goal is to ensure that you feel safe, heard, empowered, and reminded that you matter. While treatment plans may vary, I'm always here to help you become the best version of yourself and live the life you want to lead because you deserve nothing less.
