I am passionate about helping others help themselves while also providing a soft landing for those who may need it. I have experience working with individuals who struggle with severe mental illness. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) trauma therapy and have seen tremendous results with my clients healing and finally moving on from their traumas. I have a very hands-on approach and invite friends and family members to get involved in treatment when appropriate. Together I know we can see great results and progress in your journey towards wellness and recovery.

I thoroughly enjoy helping others, hearing their stories of where they have been and where they want to go in life. Any way that I can assist in that journey is extremely fulfilling for me.
I enjoy cooking and going on long walks along with the occasional reality TV binge watching session.
I try to keep to a consistent routine of waking up and going to bed around the same time every day. This helps manage my stress and time throughout the day.
People Assisting the Homeless. I worked there previously and loved to see the passion in the employees as they worked so hard to house their clients.
I like to spend time with my sister and my dogs.
I currently have one pet Chihuahua and he is 6 years old and looks like he is 6 months old. He is not like the other Chihuahuas because he is calm and friendly and doesn't bark that much. Everyone loves him! My favorite story of him is whenever we take him to the dog park he walks around like he owns the place even though he is the smallest dog in whole bunch!
