About Me

I began my counseling career working with a diverse body of individuals experiencing life stressors pertaining to sexual issues, addiction, self-esteem, and general mental health concerns. Through the years, I have found that the best approach is to work collaboratively with clients in goal achievement. I thoroughly embrace authenticity coupled with compassion. My style has been described as engaging with a strength-based and trauma-informed lens.
