About me

I’m a Mental Health Therapist committed to helping people of all ages learn how to understand themselves and others. My work focuses on targeting ineffective behaviors, habits, and beliefs around your life experiences. I believe in taking a person-centered approach to helping clients reach their goals.

I need self-care as well and therefore do not work on Saturday or Sunday.
