About Me
Curious. Creative. Affirmative are adjectives I would use to describe myself which reflects my experience as ESL teacher and marriage, couples, and family therapist with experiences working with clients from diverse presentations and life stages. Life is full of changes and transitions that sometimes catch us off guard that create psychological, emotional, and at times physical challenges for us. My hope is that you will have someone walking next to you in those moments so that it won’t feel so hard. I hope to offer you an opportunity to reimagine therapy with me in your journey of healing.
