My journey to mental healthcare

I grew up in a family with significant mental health challenges, and often felt like an outcast or the ‘black sheep.’ Experiencing this inspired me to try to understand others through a different lens, to better understand behaviors and approach people with grace. This journey ultimately led me to become a mental health specialist, helping clients.

My goals for you

Together, we create clear, realistic, and personalized treatment plans that may include medication management, supportive therapy, or a combination of both. I guide clients in building coping skills, tracking progress, and adjusting strategies as needed, all while providing support, encouragement, and a collaborative space to celebrate success.
