I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist committed to helping children and families learn how to build healthier relationships within themselves and with others. I earned my Masters in Science, in Counseling Psychology. I have worked with families for the last 12 years in a school setting, and community setting. I learned to work with the family in their homes and collaborate with community resources to maintain family cohesiveness. I provide psychoeducation on social-emotional skills and help facilitate between parents, school staff and clinician teams to ensure the child client needs are being met. I look forward to working with you.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In the first session, clients can expect a warm and welcoming environment where they can share their concerns and goals. We will start with an introduction, allowing you to share a bit about yourself and what brings you to therapy. I will ask questions to understand your background, current challenges, and any specific issues you'd like to address. This session is also an opportunity for you to ask questions about my approach and the therapy process. Together, we will set goals and outline a plan for our future sessions, focusing on creating a safe space for open communication and support.
