About My Clients

Through education, vulnerability, empathy and a genuine heart; I remind my clients that ultimately, they hold the key to bringing out the light within and therapy can help shed some of that light. I truly believe that we all stumble or fall at some point in our lives. But when we decide to even attempt to get up, this indicates that there is still hope! Because of this, I am hoping that you begin your path toward wellness!

My Background and Approach

From a Strengths-Based Perspective, I remind my clients that ultimately, they hold the key to bringing out the light within, In addition, through (CBT) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I am passionate on strengthening mindsets and behaviors that motivate clients to believe, change starts within. We must think in a manner that represents a positive outcome! In other words, if you feel bad and think everything is going to be bad then the outcome will be just that. However, if you feel good and think good then life will begin to appear good. Our behaviors are linked to our mental part of ourselves. We have to continue filtering out negative, untrue, and doubtful things and fill our heads with positivity.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

From being a military brat (which comes with constantly moving), not knowing where I fitted in, to then becoming a member of the service myself and having to constantly adapt to change, while simultaneously being a single parent experiencing grief, to then being a part of a blended family; I’d say life has many struggles that blow our way, creating barriers that may disrupt us from pursuing restoration. I am determined to walk with those who are on their path towards healing because restoring ourselves is very critical!
