Meet the Psychotherapist

I think it is only fair that I share a little about myself as you consider trusting me as your compassionate listener, therapist and coach. I have 19 years of experience helping folks gain an understanding of their life experiences and guiding them to a more peaceful life trajectory. 

I have an eclectic approach to treating social, emotional and behavioral concerns. In a culture focused on image and persona, many of people hurt in private. So, I'm grateful and honored to sit down with folks to have an authentic conversation! 

My goal is to help folks increase tolerance for peace and calm. My goal is to reduce denial, gain self-awareness and aid you in being able to self-differentiate.  I validate life experiences to reduce shame and guilt. I'm here to listen to folks explore their fears, worries, judgements and concerns about themselves, others, and environmental and societal expectations. 

My skills have also positioned me to supervise non-licensed mental health clinicians as they develop greater clinical skills. 

In the year of 2006, I obtained my B.S. in Family Relationships/Human Development. Later on, I decided to pursue a Master's Degree in Social Work in which I obtained my MSW in 2017. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and daughters outdoor in nature!
