I have been providing face to face and virtual psychotherapy to children and adults for over 13 years.

I have also been employed in various community agencies and have additional on the job training and experiences in various modalities.

I am caring, empathic, and non -judgmental. My experiences across cultures and the ability to treat everyone as unique individuals, has allowed me to hone and master my skill of reaching the heart of my clients. I am competent in the areas of Trauma Outcome Process, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Parenting Skills education (Triple P Level 4 Standard Triple P, and level 5 Pathways Triple P certification).
