I grew up in Jersey City, New Jersey, specifically on " The Hill". Growing up in an urban environment in the late 80's and early 90's, I experienced so much trauma. I was blessed with skills and great people around me that helped me to navigate the trauma, and use it as fuel for growth. Now, as a therapist, I find great fulfillment in returning the powers that the universe gave me. I am open minded and believe that this is one my callings in life. I am excited to work with clients who want to take a step in the right direction towards growth.
