About My Clients

The people I work with come from diverse walks of life. I am accepting of all clients regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, and identity.

My Background and Approach

"Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it." - Helen Keller. I personally can identify with struggle, physical & emotional pain, and the heartache of loss, but I also can testify to the beauty of joy, peace, perseverance, resilience, and hope. Difficult seasons create opportunities for growth & insight and help you to learn more about yourself and others. Healing is possible no matter what the problem is and I’m here to help you discover what that looks like! I have worked with diverse groups of children and adolescents, adults, couples, and families in a variety of settings. I have extensive experience w/ anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma/abuse, self-esteem issues, marital/relationship discord, parenting struggles, anger management, behavioral issues, bullying, grief & loss, & postpartum depression & anxiety. My approach is warm, compassionate, nonjudgmental, integrative, holistic, multicultural, & strengths-based.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe in the power of helping people discover the inner wealth & strengths they possess to persevere through life’s hardships. No matter where you are at in life, I am here to instill hope, support, empower, encourage, & help you build skills to navigate through your problems. Looking forward to hearing your story & journeying with you towards healing!
