I decided to be a therapist when I was in high school. I was exposed to my teenage friends and observed that all people struggle and I had an aptitude for active listening and validating their feelings. I decided then that I should be a therapist.

I work well with couples and people who struggle with any substance abuse and mental health conditions.

I am most excited to work with people in the LGBTQIA+ community, as I joined them in 2005.

I wish all clients knew that they can have a better life and that change is possible.

I chose to work at Thriveworks because I wanted to work at home and because I appreciate their approach to helping people.

I am inspired by my patients as they work hard and they achieve the life they want.

Patients can expect a non-judgmental and caring therapist, who will teach them strategies to lessen their symptoms, as well as obtaining their bio-psycho-social information.

I want to put the patient at ease in the first session. I also want them to feel heard.

Patients should know that I work very hard to help them achieve their goals.

We live at the beach, which is my favorite place, I enjoy playing with my 2 dogs, traveling and spending time with my family and friends.

My desire to make this world a better place, is what defines me.

I recently had a patient who presented with alcohol addiction. In the last few months, she has stopped drinking, is attending an IOP and has improved her relationships with her family. I am very proud of the work she has done!
