I am deeply passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals, those navigating trauma, clients seeking to cultivate self-love, and individuals across all ages from children/adolescents to adults.
Making the first step in pursuit of bettering your mental health can be daunting and overwhelming. If you find yourself feeling stuck in life, grappling with feelings of hopelessness, loneliness, irritability, low self-esteem, anxiety, or overwhelmed by relationship challenges, know that you are not alone. You don’t have to navigate this journey by yourself. I can assist you in making that first step forward. Imagine waking up each day feeling liberated from stress and worry, equipped with the tools and skills necessary to conquer everyday challenges. No longer held back by intrusive thoughts, overwhelming emotions, or past traumas.

I have experience in the medical health environment with a range of health issues from sufferers of heart attacks, stroke, women's & men's issues, and chronic illnesses. I implement an eclectic approach featuring CBT.

I provide services to children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples coping with anxiety, depression, stress management, and relational concerns.
Typically, we wear many hats and life “tries” to deter us from making time for self-care. However, YOU are important so, give yourself permission to put YOU at the top of your to-do list. Self-care is not selfish, it is essential….YOU are essential. My goal is to support my clients holistically…..mentally, spiritually, socially, and physically. My clients are actively involved in their treatment plan that is tailored to their unique selves. I see clients for individual, couples, and family therapy. I support my clients with concerns around depression, anxiety, stress, and health management.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Registered / Board Certified Art Therapist working with adults, adolescents, and children. My approach to therapy begins with forming a safe, therapeutic relationship that allows you to explore life transitions, emotional pain, or other symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, addiction, or eating disorders. We will move beyond symptom management and help you to identify and develop understanding of the deeper meaning of the presenting symptoms. Often, the symptoms are external manifestations of conflicts and core beliefs rooted in the inner world or attempts to avoid the pain of past and current life experiences.
