About

Hello! Are you ready to be empowered to heal, find relief, and grow with a calm, logical, and warm therapist? I am here to help!!! I have over 19 years of experience empowering individuals to live their best lives while coping with difficulties including anxiety, depression, trauma, medical concerns, and family/parenting challenges. I have a variety of personal and professional experiences that contribute to the development of my empathy, understanding, and reliability. I began my career working with children who had a family member murdered. Since then I have worked with a variety of trauma victims including sexual abuse survivors, adults with child abuse histories, and domestic violence victims. Also, I have counseled many individuals struggling emotionally due to chronic medical conditions. I am a cancer survivor; therefore I am extremely passionate about helping others cope with medical conditions and the consequences of the conditions including chronic pain and infertility. Additionally, for several years I have worked with children and families involved in the child welfare systems. I understand the stresses of parenting and the effects of abuse on children. Therefore, I am deeply invested in helping parents develop better skills for happier families. Finally, I work hard to be culturally competent. I have lived and traveled all over the world; therefore I am very open to understanding and accepting others.
