My clients come from various backgrounds and ethnicities with a broad range of symptoms including; anxiety, depression, identity issues, relational issues etc. I understand that discussing the most vulnerable parts about yourself is no easy task. I choose to walk with my client's on their journey with empathy and humility helping them discover their most authentic self.

My background and lived experiences has helped me discover my purpose and passion in life and I am blessed to have the opportunity to help others do the same.

The resiliency within me built through those adversities has strengthened my love to help others in their own healing process.

I have worked in behavioral health field as a behavior specialist for 5 years helping parents and families with children with behavioral needs such as Autism and ADHD.
