My focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. I achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns and traumas, and customizing a treatment plan, whether it is marriage counseling, relationship counseling, anxiety, stress, and much more. 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!

I am a certified brainspotting therapist. Brainspotting is a form of therapy that aims to help clients process through difficult emotions or traumatic experiences. In brainspotting, different eye positions are used to help identify "brainspots" linked to certain experiences, emotions, or sources of distress. Once identified, brainspotting therapists use mindfulness techniques to help the client access, experience, and process through the thoughts and feelings stored in the brainspot. I am a certified anger management therapist (CSAM) specializing in helping regulate emotions. I am a certified dialectical behavioral therapist (DBT). I have a doctorate in hypnotherapy (DCH). I am a certified life coach specializing in balancing life and work.
