I am dual-licensed as a professional counselor and art therapist. I have worked extensively with all ages from 4 years old to 94 years old. I have also worked for many years within the LGBTQ+ and Latine communities.

My focus is on psychotherapy with children, adolescents, and their families with an emphasis on depression, general anxiety, social anxiety, suicidality, and behavioral issues. I use an eclectic approach, incorporating CBT, DBT, and expressive therapies, including drama.

As a therapist, I believe that one must look at the whole person to provide quality care. This includes their physical, mental, emotional, social, career, and spiritual well-being.

It would be an honor to travel along with you to guide your healing journey using evidence based principles. I have a certification as a yoga and meditation teacher which I draw from to assist in somatic healing to integrate a mind-body connection through movement as well as the utilization of traditional talk therapies.

I use a mind-body approach that combines intellectual understanding with somatic awareness to empower clients towards a deeper understanding of themselves and others.

The environment I strive to create in counseling is one of unconditional acceptance and safety. My approach to counseling comes from the Existential school of thought.

I believe that people are more than the sum of things that have happened to them, and the core of my practice centers on partnering with clients and helping them build resiliency through life’s most difficult challenges.

Life's challenges can often leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves. In our work together, my goal is to create a nurturing environment where you can reconnect with your inner strength and navigate your journey with renewed perspective and confidence.

I am a Registered Yoga Teacher, Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst, and National Certified Counselor.

I value the involvement of caregivers in my practice to foster secure and positive attachment relationships. I hold a master’s degree in social work from Cleveland State University and I am a licensed social worker.
