My Work Experience
My role as a therapist is to be supportive and aiding towards your healing, personal growth, and for you to have healthy and satisfying interpersonal relationships. My style of therapy is through spirituality, authenticity, transparency, optimism, humor, and metaphors.
During session with me, you can expect warmth, professionalism, and care.
Healing will take work, so we will go at your pace, and I will genuinely enjoy being with you along the way.
First impressions are key, and I look forward to making the best one on you.

My Work Experience
My work over the past ten years has been with children, adolescents, couples, groups, individuals, and family units from diverse backgrounds. I’ve had the privilege of working in different capacities and various settings, such as private practice, school-based counseling, and in-home services.
Growing up in an untraditional household and in an inner city, I know first-hand the struggles and challenges that individuals, couples and families are faced with. I’m grateful for the journey that has shaped my career, and I genuinely believe, as cliché as it may sound, that everything happens for a reason and that it’s part of God’s plan. I’m certain that my real-life experiences and my profession make a purposeful balance.
Therapy is exactly that –creating balance and emitting hope. Talk therapy does not make life’s challenges go away but it helps to build resilience and the strength to face them.
If I get the privilege to work together, I’d love to hear your story. And like a puzzle, we’ll discover your strengths and learn the techniques that work best for you one piece at a time.
