LCSW, 6 years of experience
Now accepting new clients! I am a passionate advocate for individuals who struggle to have a voice and assist them in recovering their voice.

I provide a safe and welcoming environment for individuals to begin unraveling inner turmoil that prevents them from moving forward. I want to create with you a safe space and warm atmosphere. Everyone deserves a listening ear, an empathetic heart, and a genuine human being in their corner and I hope to provide this support. I look forward to empowering you!
