I’ve found that experience has indeed been the best teacher both professionally and on a deeply personal level.
Throughout my career as a public servant, I have had the priviledge to serve at-risk youth, individuals, and families, walking with them through unimaginable circumstances. I am endlessly inspired by unmatched resilience at every turn, and was moved to dig deeper. I venture into the ups and downs of relationships, complicated family dynamics and deep-rooted trauma that defies hope, blurring any vision of “normal”…whatever that is.
Ask me how I know.
As a therapist, my approach is simple: no masks and no judgment—just real, authentic conversations that help you move forward.
Leading with compassion, respect and sincere interest in your unique experiences, I bring empathy, an open mind, and sound clinical expertise.
My “why”… Because noone should suffer in silence.
This reality drives my passion to decrease stigma while breaking generational and systemic barriers. There is space for truth, healing and hope. I’m here to fight for my family and yours.
