I have worked in community mental health with the under served suffering severe and chronic mental illness since 2002. I see my role as one who empowers people to truly believe in their own strengths and to arm them with the confidence and skill to manage their illness and life as independently as possible. I also see humor as a critically important tool, in treatment and in life.

"I am passionate about helping my clients strengthen their relationships. Often, relational issues result from an inability to feel safe engaging in authentic and vulnerable communication. We frequently attempt to protect ourselves by building up defenses and unfortunately, it is these very walls that keep us detached from those we seek to be close to. My goal is to assist clients in breaking down these barriers so they can have an open and honest dialogue. I strive to create a secure environment that empowers individuals to express their true selves. This allows my clients to view themselves and each other clearly, in order to connect in a genuine way."
