At one point or another, we come across a time in our life that has challenges and obstacles that involve life changes. When this happens, there can be a sense of confusion and feeling lost. Therefore, I believe that it is important to ask for help because you do not have to embark on that journey alone. Together, we can explore and unpack your journey. Although the journey may sometimes be messy, but you get to be the author of the destination.

I offer a compassionate, safe space to explore and share your feelings and thoughts. Whether you are grappling with mental health (i.e., anxiety, depression, or trauma) or navigating relationship (i.e., couples, marital, or parent-child) issues, my approach is tailored to meet you where you are on your journey. This is because I believe that you are the expert in your journey.

As an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, I am committed to providing a safe and welcoming space for individuals, couples, and families from childhood to adulthood. I often use an integrative approach that incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) to meet your needs.

Along with my therapeutic experience, I am a 10-year military Veteran, who has served with the US Navy, Air Force, and Army as a Military Police Officer. Additionally, I have also been involved in academic (faculty/substitute teacher) and religious-based (chaplain) programs.
