I hold a Master's degree in Social Work from Walden University and have extensive experience working with high-risk individuals in the community who have various comorbid conditions. My therapeutic approach is grounded in a trauma-informed lens with an emphasis on intentionality, mindful, goal-setting, and self-empowerment. I specialize in evidence-based treatment modalities, including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and aspects of the Gottman Method.

My passion lies in helping individuals and couples develop mindfulness skills to improve their quality of life. I utilize a first-principles approach to identify problems and work collaboratively with my clients to develop effective solutions. I am dedicated to helping clients build stress management and coping skills, develop supportive communication styles, and establish healthy boundaries.
