"For me, being a therapist is
a calling. I am passionate about what I do."

I am Passionate About Empowering Others

Struggles with mental health do not have to take over your life, they do not have to define you as a person, it’s just important that you ask for help. It’s not a sign of weakness when you open yourself up to the reality that, maybe, you are not in this alone. We are spirits experiencing a human existence and I truly believe that by empowering ourselves to make room in our lives for healing, we will better for it. By taking the steps to heal ourselves we can begin to heal the collective.
