Do you sometimes look at yourself in the mirror and not recognize the person looking back at you? Do you ever wonder how you went from 0 to 60? Do you do things in the moment—yell, scream, shut down, pretend like you don’t care—and wish you could take it back? If you are filled with anger, sadness, resentment, anxiety, loneliness, fear, mistrust, and negativity, it will inevitably seep into your relationships with those you love. These parts of us tend to push others away, even though what most of us desire is peace & connection. The truth is that there is a reason why we are the way we are.

I believe that healing is a collaborative endeavor that demands genuine, non-judgmental care. As a therapist, I am nourishing, spiritual, knowledgeable, and direct with a realistic approach to counseling. I draw from a variety of methods to assist each individual instead of adopting a methodology for treatment. I have practiced clinical work in a number of in-house and outpatient clinics and my experience has enabled me to dedicate care to clients with empathy, professionalism, cultural competence, and practicality.

Hey, life can be tough. Some events are out of our control and sometimes we tend to get in our own way.

As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating.
