I am committed to working diligently, being reliable, and showing genuine compassion. I will strive to assist you in uncovering your needs and exploring solutions through either in-person or online sessions, depending on what suits you best.

While it’s true that our past experiences shape us, we are not limited to those events. During my teenage years, I faced the traumatic experience of sexual abuse, which disrupted my emotional growth and led to a cycle of unhealthy relationships, including an 11-year tumultuous marriage. Having navigated this journey, I can recognize the signs of those grappling with dysfunctional relationships. Once I learned to establish and uphold healthy boundaries that protected my well-being and self-respect, as well as other's well-being and self-respect, my healing process gained momentum. This journey ultimately inspired me to earn a degree in clinical mental health counseling. Now, my mission is to support you and your family on your path to healing.
