Within every one of us lies the potential and wisdom to live as content, fulfilled and joyfully as possible. While we cannot change the past and some present circumstances, we can develop insight, strengths and strategies to better manage our perspectives and responses in the present and future. As a strength-based, solution-focused provider, my purpose is to help you gain self-awareness to control and manage thoughts, feelings, and actions that prevent you from living the life you desire. Through culturally sensitive, compassionate, client-centered care, I will help you reach your goals regardless of what they may be.
Three decades of experience in mental health as a Therapist, School Counselor, Teacher and School Administrator has given me valuable insight to help you address and overcome a vast array of mental health issues. Trauma-informed expertise with specialized training in EMDR and DBT provides a unique clinical perspective to meet your clinical needs.
As your counselor, I am committed to establishing a safe, non-judgmental and healing space that will allow us to collaboratively work towards personal growth and empowerment in all aspects of your life. I honor and respect the strengths and uniqueness within you and I invite you to consider working with me to make the changes you desire within your life.
