(she/her)
Providing psychotherapeutic services to those seeking emotional sustenance and healthy psychological support during these very stressful times. I have been working in this field for approximately 20 years now. My experience is with all school grade levels, as well as adults from all walks of life. I find that the ideal patient is open-minded (willing to look at things from different perspectives), consistent (with attendance/self-care/psychoeducation), and humble to learn. My patients have described me as kind, trustworthy, accepting, an excellent mentor, dependable, and down-to-earth.

At my age, I needed help managing family issues. I grew up in a troubled family, and really want to manage my own behavior and understanding at this moment of my life. I am thankful to have worked through some significant issues during these sessions.
