My Focus Areas
My Therapy Style
I have years of experience working in community mental health with all populations. I meet each client where they are at. Clients have expressed upon meeting me that l offer a warm and supportive environment. I take pride in rebuilding hope through exploring the client's strengths. I empower individuals to be kind to themselves through self-compassion and self-care and remind them that they are resilient. My clinical approach promotes clients to feel comfortable in their own skin no matter the circumstance.

Why did you become a mental health professional?
I became a mental health clinician to validate and assist in the healing process of others. I believe that happiness is a basic need and I love being a part of other's journeys in finding that happiness.

Save the Children. You get the opportunity to help children who are considered survivors. The organization does a good job of explaining where the funds are being distributed.
How do you recharge?
I recharge by spending time with my family, walking my dogs, and taking a nice bubble bath.
