Meet Your Counselor
Professional Background
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Life Coach with many years of dedicated service to individuals, children, and families. My experiences include working in schools, hospitals, community centers and private practice.
As a teacher, college professor, university advisor, speaker, school counselor, addictions and neurodivergent counselor, working in private and community mental health services, I have had the opportunity to support individuals and couples with a wide range of experiences.
My graduate studies specialize in Counseling and Psychology. My academic work and personal life experiences have provided me with valuable lessons, and a better understanding of the effects challenging (at times unexpected) situations can have on an individual, and the mental resilience required to surpass them.

My Therapeutic Philosophy
In addition to my home in America, I've lived in Cuba, Costa Rica, with family members in Europe and Scandinavia. I understand the impact culture has in one's life, and bring an open and inclusive perspective to therapy.
As a psychotherapist and life coach, I provide a nonjudgmental, compassionate space, weaving my knowledge and life's experiences to provide individuals with the support and skills to improve their human experience.
"My passion is to help others live their best life. All have the ability to heal and grow with support."
I love to empower individuals to cultivate self-awareness, transform cognitive distortions, and address trauma keeping one in limiting mental patterns. I provide a compassionate, safe space where individuals can develop coping skills and build resilience in the face of change and adversity.
Every person is different, so I take an integrative approach using holistic approaches and evidence-based models. My goal is for people to feel supported, in a healing space where they can heal, find their inner power and live their most authentic self.
