My unconditional passion for the Mental Health field is beyond measures. I have worked with a dynamic age range, but mostly specialize in the ages of 11-45 years of age. I provide services to clients that have struggled with behavioral issues, mental health issues, addictions, active psychosis, psychological disorders, genetic disorders, crisis stabilization purposes, substance abuse, and much more. My motto for all my clients is that I do not have a magic wand to ensure all issues will disappear in the blink of an eye, but I do have the patience, endurance, and heart to create change in any individual's life that I may encounter.
My clients are taught endurance, persistency, and courage. My overall goal for my clients' are to empower and uplift them throughout their therapeutic process , allowing them to build a radiant sense of consistent resiliency. I facilitate evidence-based practices and modalities that will best accommodate my clients needs throughout the therapeutic process.
I operate with an astonishing team by the name of Virginia Oak Counseling LLC, in which they offer teletherapy. All of my services will be delivered through teletherapy.

Functional Family Therapy (FFT) is an effective, short-term evidence-based family counseling service designed for 11-to-18-year-old youth who are at risk or have been referred for behavioral or emotional problems. FFT works with a young person’s entire family and extrafamilial influences to facilitate positive growth and development. Our effectiveness stems from the idea that families are not identical—they all have a unique set of circumstances, so our treatment plans are individualized to fit the specific needs of youth and their families.
