Through our time together, we can explore your beliefs, identify some of your goals for therapy, and work towards you feeling more positive. I have over 25 years of professional experience in mental health counseling (outpatient and residential setting) and school counseling. I have experience working with individuals with issues related to school, ADHD, Autism, ODD, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, women’s issues, and life transitions. My approach to therapy is typically through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Stress Management.

I have always been intrigued how an individual's thoughts, beliefs, and feelings impact their actions and decisions. At an early age, I aspired to help others find their purpose in life and to live a well balance and healthy life.

I enjoy traveling, playing tennis, ballroom and Latin dancing, walking on the beach and looking for shells.

Before getting out of bed, I spend quiet time in prayer and do some light stretching. I participate in some type of physical activity whether it be playing tennis or a barre class. I also connect with my elderly mother by the end of the day through text, phone, or FaceTime.

I take naps to recharge. In the afternoon, I feel like I am fading away and my brain is telling me to take a break.
