I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, couples and families who are facing challenges that affect their quality of life. I see individuals who struggle with anger, anxiety, depression and mood swings, which may be coupled with addictive thinking or behaviors, to help find calm amidst the chaos in one's life. I believe couples are a system, yet individually bring their own pain that is transmitted to one's partner. I am committed to helping couples transform their own pain with the support of their partner to be available to the joys of a committed partnership.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life’s challenges? As a compassionate therapist with over 10 years of experience, I’m here to provide you with a safe and cozy space to share your story and work towards a more peaceful and fulfilling life. My expertise lies in helping minority and immigrant individuals and families who are dealing with grief and trauma, as well as young women and mothers who are struggling with identity issues, depression and anxiety.

I help people struggling with stress, depression, or anxiety as well as relational conflicts within families and couples. I understand the challenges in getting help to get "unstuck" and realize it takes courage to ask for help. However, if you are like many others, you are likely tired of dealing with the same problems and getting the same results. I also help others who avoid dealing with the problem and are finally ready to begin a new life. Finding the right person to guide you should not be taken lightly.

My approach to therapy involves forming a strong therapeutic alliance with my clients in order to walk alongside them as they achieve their goals and become better versions of themselves! I encourage clients as they find personal purpose and drive.

Com’on let’s be honest .... relationships can be stressful! Some of us might decide to suffer in silence, share details with people who don't support us in healthy ways, or even force ourselves to "accommodate" our partner's needs without being poured into. We can't expect for relationships to become healthy again if we continue with the same attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors when engaging with our loved ones. That's why I'm here; to break up the monotonous routines and to encourage engagement in the use of tools WORTH trying! You can do all things through Christ who strengths you!

My goal is to join alongside my clients in a partnership to help them find hope and healing. I believe that each person's life experiences and unique traits influences the direction and approaches taken through the counseling journey.

Counseling children and adolescents is a specialization of mine, as I am passionate about helping them see their true potential and guiding them through the many phases of childhood. Today is the day for you to start your journey toward better days ahead!
