I worked in the field of Veterinary Medicine for over ten years where I gained a deep understanding and passion for the human-animal bond, inspiring me to pursue a career in Social Work with a focus on Animal-Assisted Therapy. I care immensely and advocate for the well-being and empowerment of my clients to live the life they want to live. I am currently training my dog Limbo to be a certified therapy dog. He is what I lovingly refer to as a "Dognitive Behavioral Therapist".

You are brave and strong for wanting to see change in your life. You deserve to live a life full of joy and peace. I understand that seeking therapy might not be easy finically, emotionally, culturally and it can seem intimidating. You are doing the right thing by reaching out and starting a conversation about where you would like your life to be. Together, we will work to meet your goals and address roadblocks as they come. As a genocide survivor and a single parent, I understand first hand how challenging life can get. So often, we are overwhelmed by what life can throw us and it is okay to reach out and seek clarity!

Just because you wear it well doesn't mean its not heavy. Does your outward smile hide the pain you are feeling inside? Many of my clients have struggled with drugs or alcohol problems and have feelings of shame and hopelessness often trying to hide the issue from others. I've also helped many people who love someone; a spouse, child or parent with an addiction, but who have lost their sense of normalcy in the process. I also have expertise in treating problems like anxiety, depression, relationship problems and trauma/PTSD.

Sometimes life looks different than we imagined & we need help making sense out of things. We might be feeling disconnected, uncertain, or alone. I aim to help people identify and connect with their inner strengths, community, and essential wisdom and become more aligned with the dreams they hope to achieve. I believe that inner peace is attainable for everyone. I use a humanistic approach to therapy based on individual needs and personality. My style is active engagement, authenticity, and humor to heal when appropriate. I don’t believe in black and white thinking and understand we all have unique journeys and experiences.

Empowering individuals toward real change.  Life is difficult sometimes with family, friends, work and personal issues etc. Unfortunately, not everyone wants to hear about your problems or have your best interest at heart. Everyone has their own unique identity and experiences. Sometimes we need to understand what brought us to this point in life. Your issues don't define who you are.

I also work with a variety of clients of different backgrounds and experiences looking for a therapist with an anti-oppressive lens, who will regard the client as the expert on their life and experiences, and see their struggles in the integrated context of the personal, cultural, and universal levels of their human experience.
