No matter a person’s position in life, your mental health will always take precedence and determine your quality of life and how well you perform. It's an honor to be a provider and an advocate for mental health. I am a licensed professional counselor with over a decade of experience providing services to various populations including, children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. Above all of the accolades, I’m human and I know that at some point or at several points in your lifetime you will need guidance and support.
I’m trained and skilled in treating depression, anxiety, trauma (physical, emotional, sexual, etc.), anger/mood shifts, and grief. I practice evidenced-based interventions with proven results such as cognitive-behavioral, dialectical-behavioral, solution-focused, mindfulness, trauma-informed care, person-centered, etc.
Life presents challenges that we are not always prepared for and it becomes difficult to regain ground. You don't have to navigate these valleys on your own. Humility is a demonstration of strength and offers internal empowerment.
