I completed my Bachelor of Science degree in Clinical and Abnormal Social Psychology from Park University. I then continued my education and received a Master if Science degree in Counseling Psychology from California Baptist University. I am currently registered with the Board of Behavioral Sciences as a Marriage and Family Therapist.

I strongly believe that everyone has a voice and deserves to be heard. I enjoy walking side by side with my clients through the healing process and giving them the encouragement and tools needed to achieve their highest quality of life and to strengthen their interpersonal relationships. I have worked with clients dealing with an array of situations such as relationship problems, substance abuse, depression, anxiety, ADHD, Autism, trauma survivors, at-risk youth behavioral problems, and different forms of personality disorders to name a few.

Having previously worked as a first responder and providing Advanced Life Support in the field allowed me to have first hand experience of what first responders witness and go through in their careers. For this reason, I also enjoy working with first responders to help them process traumatic events and assist in preventing burnout.

I am EMDR trained and enjoy providing EMDR to my clients due to its effectiveness in a short period of time. I also provide EMDR only services if you are wanting to stay with your current therapist, but want to utilize EMDR to work through a specific event.

I am also a Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional (CIMHP). As a CIMHP, I believe that food is medicine and use a nutritional and integrative approach to treating mental health “dis-ease” by providing individualized nutritional recommendations and food plans in order to significantly relieve problematic mental health symptoms for people with anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, and bipolar.
