What do you specialize in or focus on in mental health treatment?:

My therapeutic focus is centered on the individual’s self-healing. Throughout the sessions, I will build a strong rapport with my clients and assist them in identifying triggers, setting boundaries, and incorporating healthy coping skills. Specifically, I work with adults in groups or individual settings that are facing life changes, anxiety, depression and/or are just trying to build self-worth, remove self-doubt and build self-compassion. I am the group facilitator for our Women’s Empowerment Group, in which I work to help my clients embrace who they are. This group is a thought provoking, encouraging, confidence and self-esteem building group. I work with individuals that are attempting to navigate relationships, body image changes, motherhood, or just trying to embrace who they are and having a better relationship with themselves. In group, my clients learn to release self-doubt, negative thinking, build self-compassion, set goals, and embrace who they are.

What do you do in your free time?

In my free time I enjoy spending time with family, reading, going to the beach and connecting with nature.
