Message to clients

Do you identify with a marginalized population and feel disconnected from the people around you? I am passionate about supporting those who feel isolated and unsupported. I have experienced this personally as a woman and minority. Hence, my objective is to utilize my experience and clinical skills to assist you in overcoming your challenges. I empower women, children, couples, families, and those who identify as LGBTQ+. Thus, I enjoy working with individuals of all ages from diverse backgrounds.
