When human beings face adverse events or severe life stressors, it is not uncommon for their lives to spiral out of control. I have a tremendous passion to provide healing for those individuals who are living with the consequences and symptoms of hardship. I have worked with children, adults and families to create healthy perceptions of themselves and strengthen their relationships with the community resulting in them feeling peaceful, complete and safe.

While traditional therapies tend to focus on fixing problems and dealing with pathology, my primary modality of treatment, positive psychology, takes a different approach. The goal of positive psychology is to build happiness and well-being. I also incorporate client-centered, behavioral and experiential interventions into my work with clients. I work with adults, adolescents, children, couples and families. I have a clinical interest in men’s mental health and in addressing specific counseling needs of minority community members.

I’m a licensed graduate professional counselor (LGPC) with an educational background that includes a Master’s in Counseling and a Bachelor’s in Conflict Analysis & Dispute Resolution (CADR). In my practice, your safety is important to me and I will work to support you gaining the insight and perspective needed for healing. I look forward to working alongside you in this process.
