When asked why she became a therapist, she explains, "I'm a therapist because I have learned that a vast amount of people feel isolated, overlooked, exhausted, worthless, sad, anxious and fearful. They need a person to listen to them. They need someone to explain to them they have value. They need skills to help them adjust their sadness and fear to joy and courage. I am a therapist because when I see people fight their battles in that way and I want to reach out and help. I can encourage. I can listen. I can be that support. I can teach them how to navigate life with a little more contentment and a little more joy."

LPC
"Children inherit the qualities of their parents, no less than their physical features. The environment does play an important part, but the original capital on which a child starts in life is inherited from its ancestors. I have also seen children successfully surmounting the effects of an evil inheritance. That is due to purity being an inherent attribute of the soul." - Mahatma Gandhi
I believe that everyone has the ability to change their path. We all have scars; we all have a past. It is through love, understanding, and perseverance that we become more. Life led me to help others and allow them an outlet. I am passionate, honest, and at times brutally forward. I do not practice therapy in a cookie-cutter fashion and I believe this allows me to assist others differently. My modality is not better or worse than others. I am not here to force beliefs upon anyone. I am here to help you down the path you chose.
I have a BS in Psychology with a minor in Criminal Justice. I have an MS in clinical mental health counseling. I am also completing an MS in social sciences. I do not believe psychology is a soft science. The brain and its development are so intricate, how could that be soft?
