I have over 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. In my practice clients can confidentially discuss their problems without fear of judgement or feeling misunderstood. My goal is to help patients live happier, more holistic and balanced lives.

My focus is to help my clients heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. We achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan.

I promise to be there for you every step of your journey. My goal is to help you grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, and move forward to where you want to be in your life.
