I believe that we all exhibit the belief that life can be challenging, and navigating its twists and turns can often leave us feeling adrift in chaos and uncertainty. However, I firmly believe that within this turbulence lies a wellspring of inspiration and resilience unique to our own personal experiences. By reshaping and sharing our narratives, we can find our true path and tap into our untapped potential. My desire is to work together to cultivate resilience and strength, uncovering the best version of you.

Through our work together, I want all of my clients to know two things; one is that they have value that cannot be taken away by anything or anyone and the other is that they do not have to struggle with mental health issues alone. Therapy is the place where you can be authentic and honest about struggles and can feel validated and heard rather than judged or dismissed.

Since 2012 I have been providing services to clients as a forensic mental health clinician behind the walls of jails and HOC's. My clients have been survivors of various types of traumas. We know that childhood traumas can lead to addictions and other risky behaviors that ravage families and dreams. Does this resonate with you or a loved one? Are you tired of being angry and not being able to communicate in a healthy manner? Did you recently lose a loved one? Were you recently incarcerated and feel the need to connect with someone who understands the impact of trauma and the system?

The first goal I have in my work is to care about, deeply listen to, and accept the person sitting with me. The second goal is to help my clients reach the goals they’re coming to me with, sometimes after helping them figure out what they are. I utilize Cognitive Behavior Therapy in sessions, working to identify the thoughts and behaviors that are contributing to what is bringing each person in and then finding ways to integrate new ones. I seek to find a counseling style that works for each client, using their strengths and preferences to create a space that is comfortable and effective for anyone coming to see me.
