My therapy style is to provide my clients with a safe and welcoming environment. I will always do my best to meet my clients where they are and help them arrive at answers or conclusions with adequate guidance and respect. I believe therapy is about the relationship you form with your therapist and the trust that builds within that relationship will allow the communication process to be effective. I like to build trust, understanding, and effective communication with my clients to help them understand themselves and those around them positively.

I became a mental health professional because I believe that humans are capable of evolving and developing into the great beings that they are meant to become. I feel rewarded when I am given the opportunity to a part of someone's journey to becoming their greater self.

My interests outside of work consist of creating. I love crafts, sewing, crocheting, and building doll houses.

I crochet and work on crafts everyday after my office hours. It helps me to distract and provides a sense of empowerment once I have finished a project.

I have read An unquiet mind by Kay Jamison more times than I can recall. I love this book so much because it speaks about resilience and hardship. No matter how difficult things may seem, there is always a way out and a path to improve and accept and learn to love ourselves as we are.

My favorite organization is the National Coalition against Domestic Violence. This is an organization that works hard at ending abuse and domestic violence and that understands the victim's situation. They provide shelter, legal aide, and financial support in various ways to victims that are looking to end the abuse

I recharge by going for walks with my dogs. It helps me feel energized and connected to nature and those around me.

I have two dogs, Luna and Gavin. Luna is a teddy bear breed and Gavin is a Bischon Frise.
