We view the world through a lens based on our experiences, circumstances, and expectations. Sometimes, this lens can become clouded or distorted by life’s many challenges. It is my belief that we have an innate ability to be resilient at times in which our lens may become scratched, foggy, or even cracked. I utilize a multi-faceted approach to therapy to take a look at ways in which you have navigated and are currently navigating your worldview. Together, we can work on finding, building, and establishing ways in which you find clarity and understanding as it relates to your holistic health.

I am a dedicated social worker in the mental health field. I have over 16 years of experience in mental health. I believe that each person has the ability to heal. Healing happens in the context of a good relationship. I come from a biopsychosocial and person centered model using a solution focus and motivational interviewing approach in addition to other practice skills I have outlined below. I come from a trauma/developmental theoretical orientation. I believe that what happens to us in the past affects how we are now socio-emotionally and behaviorally including internally. I am here to help a path of healing and recovery.

We are experiencing challenging times. Most of us have also experienced past or recent unresolved trauma. It is physically and emotionally tiresome to carry our past with us into the present while trying to make sense of our place in the world. This can lead to uncertainty, isolation, and a longing for meaningful connection. You may notice feeling unmotivated, depressed, anxious, and/or experiencing disturbances in your sleep and other daily routines. It is possible to heal from the past and move forward with greater emotional presence leading to healthy management of daily stressors and fulfillment in relationships and in life.

Everyone deserves time and space to explore and better understand their thoughts, feelings, reactions and behaviors, and to experience inner peace and joy. It is an honor to share space with someone interested in growth and healing.

Welcome! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years of experience in the mental health field working with children, adolescents, and adults. I have experience assisting clients in a wide variety of areas, including but not limited to anxiety, depression, stress management, interpersonal relationships, grief/loss, and trauma.

In my work as a therapist, I have helped children, families, parents, and adults cope with and overcome a wide range of challenges such as PTSD, grief, depression, anxiety, anger and stress management, parenting and relationship challenges, and life transitions. In the process of doing so, I have learned that we all possess a tremendous capacity for healing and growth.

Our minds and bodies carry memories and scars of experiences endured and the emotions we have attached to them. We may not choose what happens to us, but the stories we have are ours alone. I see you as the expert of your own life and will work alongside you as you heal emotional wounds and unlearn behaviors that no longer serve you. I support young adults and adults who are confronting anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, and challenges with self-esteem and relationships.

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Feel Better Therapy began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

Many of us feel like we don't belong, carry burdens from past traumas, and struggle to balance caring for ourselves with having a fulfilling life. My approach will help you respond to intense emotions and memories with more curiosity and speak to the parts of you that feel self-critical, alienated, and alone in a more compassionate and nurturing voice. We will explore your unmet needs and help you express yourself with more vulnerability, confidence, and authenticity. You will discover that the person most equipped to help with your own healing is you, and you are never truly alone.
