About

I am a licensed mental health counselor with over 15 years of experience. I welcome you to the next healing chapter of your life!

I engage clients where they are in life. My career choice is a passion, and I am motivated every day by my clients who teach me that change is possible. My Therapeutic Techniques help clients find benefits in their growth. I believe in educating clients to understand the value of therapy and establish a trusting connection. My clients find that the therapeutic and holistic techniques used in treatment reduce their symptoms and pursue a better quality of life. My experience spans more than 15 years in Mood Disorders, Anxiety, Depression, Social Anxiety, OCD, Trauma, PTSD, Domestic Violence, Human Trafficking, and Sexual Abuse. I am a multiculturally, trained, and competent counselor. Welcome to your first day of healing! Let's start making a difference in your life, one moment at a time.

I'm not telling you it's going to be easy. I'm telling you it's going to be worth it. - Art Williams
