About me

I am a firm believer that we are put here on earth to help one another grow, and change with the ultimate objective to live a more fulfilled life and love each other more. The challenge is always the peaks and valleys of life that bring us severe emotional pain. I have had the privilege and honor to be professionally trained in a wide variety of therapeutic modalities to move clients toward better mental health. I do believe that there is not one way to get mentally healthy but rather a combination of personal choice and a new approach to life’s challenges that creates permanent change. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist my main focus will be the systems within your life that are not working or functioning correctly and changing them. I have shown success in working with patients who struggle with: Grief/Loss Narcissistic Abuse Trauma/Abuse Depression/Anxiety/Stress Blended Family Issues Parenting for Children with Disabilities Marriage Counseling Professional experience 12+YRS IN PRACTICE

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first couple of sessions, we will start with brief introductions, some background history, any questions you may have about the process or working directly with me and specifics of what brings you to therapy.

The treatment methods and tools I utilize

My primary approaches are Narrative Family Therapy, CBT/DBT and Solution Focused Therapy but feel confident in using any data-driven approach that works for my client.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Parental/Spousal Narcissistic Abuse POC men/women Gender identity Family Trauma/Abuse PTSD Marital/Relationship issues Anxiety Grief and Loss I have proven results where clients with these issues have shown growth and improved overall life changes.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with adults who need a warm and compassionate listening ear. I can be direct and proactive in my approach mixed with a bit of humor to make connecting and trusting me with your problem a bit easier. My clients tend to be people (average ages 20-65) who are stuck either in grief or loss, unresolved trauma, suffering from parental or spousal abuse or faced with a sense of anxiety/frustration in their lives who need tools to move their lives forward. Working with people of color is both my privilege and my personal life's work.
