Is your child acting out and you aren't sure how to help? Is your teen becoming distant and moody, leaving you feeling it is nearly impossible to see eye to eye? Do you desperately want to put an end to harmful family patterns, sparing your children from hardships you have faced? Your child is your whole world, and when they aren’t happy, neither are you. It’s normal to want to fix everything for them, and also to have no idea how to. You may feel as if you have tried everything without success, feeling as if there is little hope that life will get better. You desperately need something to work so you can see your child happy again.

I understand that when you or your child are having a hard time, it affects the entire family and daily life. If you are the parent/guardian of a child who needs a therapist who will listen to your insight as their parent, or if you are a young adult struggling with family, school, work, or feelings of depression, anxiety or stress, you have come to the right place. Perhaps you don't feel like counseling has worked in the past and need a new approach to what you or your child is dealing with. Perhaps you are a looking for a counselor that will incorporate your faith. Whoever you are, you have come to the right place.

I have experience in the social work field, where I was last employed with the Department of Family and Children Services in Georgia.
I was born and raised in Newark, NJ. I attended Montclair State University for my first two years of undergrad in hopes of becoming a high school math teacher. Not until I served in the U.S. Military did I realize my strong desire to help people overcome their battles associated with mental health. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology in 2021 from the University of Arizona. I am completing my Master's of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Liberty University.

As a Clinician, I work with a mixed population of children and adults, across a wide range of treatment modalities. My youngest client is 3 years old and my oldest is 53 years old. I feel called to work with individuals who have been exposed to traumatic events in their lives. Trauma therapy allows children to communicate, express feelings, modify behavior, develop problem-solving skills, and learn a variety of ways of relating to others. In working with adults, I want to help you break through the barriers of your trauma experience that have hindered you in life. Do you desire to push past the pain, and find your healing?

My passion is to work with children, adolescents, & college aged individuals who struggle with behavioral issues, family conflict, life changes, self-esteem, and anxiety. My ultimate goal is to help our youth understand that it's okay not to be okay and to know that it's okay to seek help! As Robert Kiyosaki once said, “One of the biggest defects in life is in the inability to ask for help." Therefore, it is my belief that in order for a healthier future to occur, we must start by supporting the mental health of our youth, as they are the future generations to come.
