I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience. It all starts with you. I look at your biological, psychological, social and spiritual influences to get a complete picture of who you are. I truly believe in the power of our human minds and spirits, and hold sacred these inherit gifts. I am cross trained in Psychotherapy and Addictions, along with forensics.

As a therapist I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental, accepting place where my clients can explore their fears and their pain. Often times change may cause stress and anxiety, it can also bring about positive life transformations. I am honored to be a part of your journey towards mental and emotional freedom.
