Therapy style

In my experience and approach, I have found it best to come from a place of compassion for the client. That involves meeting the client where they are and where they would like to go in the treatment process. It is my belief based on knowledge, experience, and training that depression and anxiety can greatly impact a person's life.

Interests

I enjoy crafting, cooking, and reading. Crafting gives me inner peace and being creative. Cooking is a cultural-based enjoyment. Food is a way I show love to friends and family. Reading gives me a fun escape when the craziness of life can feel overwhelming.
