Bio
I am called to SERVE. I have worked as a clinician for almost two decades and have had the pleasure of working with clients of all genders, from all racial backgrounds with various ages and needs. I meet my clients where they are emotionally with the goal of getting them to where they want to be in life by working through life's challenges and roadblocks. The years of training I received as a clinician and supervisor at the Yale Child Study Center have influenced my attention to detail, assessment, and collaboration. I encourage you to take this amazing journey of self-discovery and healing from inside and out with me.

I'm open to all types of clients and truly believe in the mind body connection. Additionally, one of my favorite things to do is work with adolescents who are on the autism spectrum by offering social skills/building connections groups to help them build peer relationships. The families I have worked with are so happy that their child has an improved life.
I am called to Serve and do so unbiased and non-judgmentally. If I am not the person for you then I will help connect you with the right person. Please email, text, or call to set up a phone intake. I will conduct a thorough assessment and co-create a treatment plan with you. Whoever you choose, I wish nothing but inner peace to you and yours.
