I have worked in the addictions and mental health field since 2007.  I am a Certified Clinical Traumatologist and have worked with individuals coping with anxiety, depression, PTSD, substance use issues, and relationship conflict. 

I use a blend of approaches to promote healthy relationships, emotional regulation, and maintaining better-coping abilities.

​I welcome you to share your concerns and discuss your needs. I will listen to you and work together with you on your goals.

A little about me.

I am accepting new clients. I know that we all experience different stressors and unique life experiences. I am excited about helping my clients to focus on what's important to them and reconnect with their values. I work with individuals, couples, and families. ​I focus on anxiety, depression, relationships, trauma experiences, addiction assessments/treatment, and individual well-being.  I work with individuals from different cultures and backgrounds. 

Something about me is that I'm always smiling. In my personal time, I enjoy travelling, swimming, and watching movies.

Feel free to reach out and schedule a free 15-minute consultation. I look forward to hearing from you.
