My journey to becoming a mental health professional started at a young age when I was born into a family with deep trauma and limited resources. Through my 10+ years working in the mental health field I have learned that a direct, "no bullshit" therapist is something that people long for. Especially one who can understand the challenges of mental illness, poverty, generational curses, and the ebbs and flows of real life. I specialize in working with law enforcement, EMTs, adult children of addicts/alcoholics, severe and persistent mental illness, complex trauma histories and those living with addiction and/or in recovery. I have been a mental health professional and therapist for more than 5 years working with children, adults, couples and families. My approach to therapy is centered around being authentic, providing education and responding with compassion for each of my clients and the unique path they find themselves on.
