ABOUT HAVEN OF HEALING MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING.
ABOUT HAVEN OF HEALING MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING.
I am a compassionate and dedicated therapist working with children, adolescents, and young adults ages 3–21, with a passion for helping individuals through life's most challenging and transformative moments. I walk alongside clients from diverse backgrounds as they navigate challenges. My practice is dedicated to fostering growth, emotional resilience, and mental wellness.
I respect the courage it takes to reach out for help. My focus is building a strong therapeutic relationship where you feel secure exploring difficult emotions, being client-centered and validating, practicing cultural sensitivity, and empowering you to build tools to manage your life effectively.
MY JOURNEY TO MENTAL HEALTH
My journey has been shaped by hands-on experience in intensive mental health settings. I began in psychiatry, which taught me to be clinical, calm, collaborative, and compassionate. I transitioned into intensive outpatient programs, where I witnessed the urgency of care and the resilience of the human spirit.

MY APPROACH
I believe effective therapy starts with a strong relationship built on trust, collaboration, and authenticity. My approach is integrative, blending evidence-based practices. No two people are alike, and neither should their therapy be. I work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your goals and values.
I believe clear, honest communication is a powerful tool for healing and growth. You can expect a space that is warm and supportive, but also direct and intentional. I practice active listening, utilize humor when appropriate, and give you opportunities to reflect. I'll ask meaningful questions and challenge unhelpful patterns with compassion.
MY GOALS FOR YOU
My goal is to help you set clear goals and walk alongside you as you work towards them with confidence and support. Together, we will identify what matters most to you, build emotional resilience and healthy coping tools, strengthen your sense of identity and personal agency, and gain clarity.
You don’t have to navigate this alone.
If you’re ready to take the next step, I’m here to support you.
