About

Hello! I have worked in the mental health field for nearly 9 years and have be licensed for nearly 2 years. I have a great deal of experience working with youth and adults, providing individual and group therapy to patients within community agencies. I have a passion for working with a diverse and multicultural population. My main goal is to establish a therapeutic relationship that is genuine and to provide service that is individualized to the person’s needs. I realize that taking the first step to seek therapy isn’t easy, but I can assure you that the journey to healing is well worth traveling.
