I am a professional clinical counselor with a passion for helping clients meet their therapeutic goals. I have worked with a wide range of diverse individuals which has enabled me to become more understanding of various backgrounds, cultures and their dynamics.
I believe that everyone needs someone, sometimes to help them navigate the slew of life’s challenges. I am passionate about helping people dictate the narrative of their lives and shaping society to become more compassionate and equitable.
I have earned a Master of Social Work Degree at University of Southern California (USC), a Master of Theology Degree at Fuller Theological Seminary, and have been actively working with people and amongst diverse communities the past 20 years. As an associate clinical therapist I have experience working with a range of mental health disorders and life challenges, including marriage, trauma, abuse, sexually problematic behaviors, depression, anxiety and helping people unpack and process their racial/cultural, identity and religious experiences and injustices. Empathy and compassion are central to my life and work. I am devoted to learning about who you are and how I can help in your healing and life journey.
Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful parts of us. Many are emerging from very unhealthy relationships with themselves or others and often seek complete rewiring of their relationship patterns.
It brings me pure joy to help those who are hurting begin toreclaim themselves as whole beings, where their capacity to co-create and experience transformation becomes expansive and limitless. After a traumatic event, living with a mental illness, or working through dark times, a person often feels helpless, lost and detached from their truepersonality. I am committed to a collaborative approach where I meet my clients where they are at and together we go to a depth beyond the surface. I am here not only as the emotional support you will need but am also here to coach you through each phase. With warmth andcompassion, I help create a space where I not only help my clients feel heard and validated, but also work towards the goal of finding healthy and effective solutions.
As a veteran of the United States Army who served as a Military Police Officer, I developed resilience and a deep appreciation for the human experience. My experience here and as a mental health clinician has equipped me with valuable insights into the complexities of trauma,unhealed wounds, and broken relationships, which can contribute to silent pain and profound struggles. My journey has fueled my commitment to making a difference in the lives of those who feel alone, unheard, invalidated, tired, depressed, disconnected, and anxious. I believe that everyone deserves a safe space to explore their thoughts and emotions without judgment.
Dealing with life comes with so many different struggles. Do you find yourself wrapped in worry with thoughts that just won’t rest? Unable to communicate when it comes to your relationships? Trauma, low-self-esteem, and so much more can make it hard to live a fun and fulfilling life.
I would love to help you take control of your life back. I enjoy working with individuals that seek to better handle their emotions, process trauma, use coping skills to help with anxiety, and grow in self-love. I also enjoy working with couples that include both traditional and non-traditional relationships with issues that come up when in the partnership.
As a woman who understands first-hand how difficult it can be to grow in a world that does not always give you the opportunities to succeed, I have learned how to use the tough lessons of life to help others in my practice. Using CBT and a person-centered approach, we will go on a journey of self-healing together. I can’t wait to get to know you!
