I am happy you're here! I am a therapist who has worked predominately with justice-involved individuals. It is through my time providing therapy in this community, that I found trauma, depression, and anxiety to be the common diagnoses while reintegrating into life after custody. My rich history working with such beautiful people helped me to incorporate practices that build healthy coping skills across all areas of life. Hope to meet you soon!

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

It is important to note that this is not an easy journey and it takes the two of us to get to the goal. As such, I will ask most of the questions, but will leave space for you to inquire about my practice as well!

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Because of my extensive work in the forensic field for the past 5 years, I am an amazing listener who can provide sustainable skills to assist with problem identification and attainable goals for long-term progress.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I love working with individuals who are open and willing to work together to make the changes necessary for a more peaceful path. I feel therapy is a two-way process and just as you learn from me, I am learning from you.
