Taking the first step of asking for help can be hard.
It can be a struggle to open up and trust someone with your story.
To help ease that fear and uncertainty, let me introduce myself.

My Story
Starting from a young age I have always known that I wanted to help people. It took me many years to finally find my niche, or where I fit in, and the path I was meant to take. Once I let go of focusing on me and asked God what He had for me, everything started falling into place. I have no doubt that helping people through therapeutic processes is what I’m meant to be doing. I thank you for trusting me to walk along beside you in your journey and help you navigate your way to a more balanced life and mindset.
What makes me stand out
Empathy - I put myself in your shoes and work to see things from your perspective
I listen with compassion and not judging.
Teamwork - we work together to help you achieve goals. And if something doesn’t work we try something else.
Ethical - I maintain a trustworthy atmosphere by adhering to the highest standards with maintaining your privacy.
