I am deeply committed to helping individuals at whatever point they are in their life journey. I emphasize a holistic approach, focusing on the entire family system to ensure each component thrives, culminating in a harmonious and optimal functioning unit. I hold the perspective that our early environment and interactions play a significant role in shaping our worldviews and influencing our life experiences, both positive and negative.

​My dedication to the fields of human services and education spans over 25 years. I have extensive experience in residential and group home settings, foster care, and Child Protective Services (CPS). I am particularly passionate about supporting adolescents. I firmly believe that unresolved issues from our youth can manifest in adults, perpetuating cycles of family challenges. Breaking this cycle requires courage, resilience, and the right guidance. As a therapist, I pride myself on thinking creatively and joining my clients in their healing process.

​My therapeutic style is anchored in a non-judgmental approach, providing a welcoming and secure environment for individuals to focus on their therapeutic goals. One of my primary objectives is to guide and support individuals in their healing, ensuring they cultivate relationships based on love and understanding rather than transferring past pains onto others.
