It's ok, not to be ok! And that's ok! By seeking someone you can trust, talk to, and build a trusting relationship with, you have taken the first step to healing. I offer my support with a healing, wholistic approach for couples, families, and/or individuals. My goal is to support your healing journey and empower you to reach your full potential. Let me help you break down and confront obstacles that may be preventing you from achieving your goals and dreams and empower you with developing healthy strategies and coping skills.

I provide a safe space where stories, concerns and experiences can be shared, without the fear of judgement or criticism. My personal and work experiences have assisted me with supporting individuals with anxiety, depression, intergenerational trauma, domestic violence, grief and loss.

Please reach out and let's see what we can do together.
