I have 15 years of visionary leadership experience creating innovative programs that promote change among underserved youth and adults. I am a compassionate and progressive community leader with holistic, person-centered approach fueled by so many success stories supporting individuals who overcame drug and alcohol addictions, homelessness, and major social and economic barriers to pursue higher education. I'm a LICSW with high EQ, active listening skills, and who encourages collaboration through creating safety spaces for all voices to be heard when navigating difficult situations to bring mutually positive results.
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for change? I provide trauma-informed, client-centered therapy integrating CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, harm reduction, and solution-focused approaches. I help clients build coping skills, process difficult experiences, and move toward a healthier, more balanced life.
Struggling with stress, trauma, or feeling stuck? You deserve support. I offer a warm, trauma-informed approach to help you feel understood, build coping skills, and create lasting change. Taking the first step can feel hard—but reaching out could be the start of something better.
