Assessment and therapy are tools that if utilized correctly and fully, can be transformative for so many. I am honored to be given the opportunity to work with others by utilizing assessment and therapy, and helping them find the path that they want to be on. It is important for individuals to explore and better know themselves, so they are able to thrive and prosper in their lives.

I have clinical experience working in community mental health and private practice, where I have been practicing assessment and psychotherapy services with children, teens and adults. I have experience working with individuals in individual therapy, group therapy and family therapy.
