My goal is to be a part of your mental health village, creating a culture of emotional awareness that promotes healing, joy, empowerment, achieving goals, and breaking generational curses. I’m passionate about supporting children, teens, adults, POC, & LGBTQ+ individuals dealing with issues like neurodivergence, anxiety, depression, substance use, trauma, self-esteem, stress, ADHD, PTSD, grief, adoption, fertility, LGBTQ concerns, sexual issues, anger, parenting, life stressors, and work-life balance. I also specialize in helping those with executive functioning difficulties and navigating neurodiversity, using a holistic approach.

I blend holistic methods like animal-assisted therapy (AAT) with evidence-based practices for compassionate psychotherapy. Specializing in play therapy, trauma, and neurodivergence, my hands-on, patient approach supports healing & growth through the mind-body-spirit connection, helping clients navigate challenges and achieve emotional balance.

I strive to be part of your mental health village, dedicated to empowering individuals to embrace their resilience, heal from trauma, and build lives of meaning and fulfillment. Through a multifaceted approach to therapy and advocacy, I aim to create positive change not only in the lives of those I serve but also within the broader community.
