I am passionate about coming alongside you to help reach your goals! I am honored to be a part of each client’s process for healing and change, and value addressing whatever needs and goals are specific to you. I have been working as a mental health counselor for almost ten years, and my favorite part of the job is seeing the resilience and transformation process with each of my clients. I have experience working with individuals of all ages, families, and couples with a variety of concerns including anxiety, addiction, depression, relationship concerns, and trauma. I am an LMHC that specializes in treating trauma and I'm passionate about working with my clients to find the healing that they have been wanting. I also value being a therapist that is a POC, and welcome my clients to bring their cultural concerns and racial trauma to work through in sessions.

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

One of the most important things I like to provide for my clients is a safe space where they are allowed to be themselves. You can expect to feel heard and nurtured, and I’m always open to you letting me know if there is something that I could do better or that you didn’t like. Above all else, I want my clients to feel like I am listening to them and helping them achieve the healing and change that they have been searching for. I am also always willing to work with you financially because I know that can be one of the biggest reasons why people don’t pursue the help they need. I have included my cash fee, but also provide services on a sliding scale. My motto is: if finances are the only reason you aren’t coming to treatment, I will always work with you.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

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

I believe my two biggest strengths are helping those with suicidality and self-harm, as well as those who have dealt with a history of trauma. It seems that this are the types of clients that are “drawn” to me, and thus, I have both experience working with and have attended trainings that are specific to these presenting problems.
