You’re reading my profile for a reason. You’re tired of doing this alone. You deserve compassionate help. I blend my passion for mental health and wellness with expertise in communication theory and practice. I am passionate about youth and emerging adults ages 15-25. What makes my approach and perspective unique is the empathy that can only come from lived experience. Also, having worked with people domestically and abroad I am witness to the fact that pain, the desire to heal and the need for connection and to feel understood are universal. One of my strengths is my ability to work well with clients from various backgrounds.

Are you constantly worried about things going “wrong” in your day to day life and it stops you from making decisions? Are you constantly thinking that something bad will happen to you or a loved one?

Do you feel overwhelmed or misunderstood? These feelings can be overwhelming and difficult to deal with. However, you are not alone! If you are ready to make changes in your life, take comfort in knowing that I am here to help you.

Adolescence can be a difficult period of transition for many. Peer pressure, changing environments and non-traditional or abrupt family changes can be challenging for a child as well as a parent. Finding a connection with someone who can help manage and overcome feelings of inadequacy is the first step to wellness.

I understand heartache and betrayal in relationships. You need to feel alive and secure again. Trauma affects everything from your sense of sexuality to spirituality, even your connection to others. If you endured emotional, physical or sexual trauma or exploitation, I can provide an understanding place to work on healing. Find your footing towards stable, trusting confidence. You can come back to a feeling of being alive, have a sense of purpose/place and surety of who you are. I will listen supportively, and you will find wisdom to build an enduring sense of purpose maybe for the first time. Let's do this together!

Major and sudden life events can be disruptive to your life depending on what they are. They can also create worry, stress, confusion, sadness, anger, emotional pain, and frustration. Do you ever feel that way? Is it because of Child Protective Services, problems with your spouse or partner, or feeling pessimistic about life itself?
