My style is warm, attuned, and relaxed incorporating research-backed therapeutic modalities that make therapy #feelgood.
My clinical orientation is humanistic with interest in the biological system as it relates to trauma and mental health conditions. I specialize in understanding the connection between the body, stress and dissociation using the lens of psychoneuroimmunology.

With experience in sales and marketing, working for Fortune 500 companies to large Pharmaceutical companies, I have a wide variety of knowledge in career planning, corporate coaching, and business coaching. I have also worked with corporate initiative programs like BetterUp a sillicon valley unicorn.
I started my counseling journey, by developing an all-woman's support group entitled, "Women in Leadership." I then began working in corporate America, until I decided to go back to school for counseling. My experience involves working in major hospitals to court-appointed therapy for individuals in the criminal justice system. In that experience, I became affiliated with trauma specializations including domestic violence, rape, homicide, addiction, and gang violence.
A note About YOUR THERAPIST
