As a Mental Health Therapist, I am passionate about connecting with others to help reduce emotional distress and in supporting, encouraging and fostering positive healing and growth from within a collaborative relationship with those with whom I work.

It is my intention to provide a supportive, positive, and respectful environment in which strong therapeutic relationships can grow. It is of utmost importance that I provide a culturally competent, all inclusive, accepting environment, that is comfortable for people from all walks of life; race, color, religious belief, gender, gender expression, age, ability, and sexual orientation will not be discriminated against.

Whole person interventions address cognitive, emotional, social, and behavioral aspects of mental and emotional health, and utilizes a past – present – future orientation for perspective taking in the therapeutic process.
