Hey There

Do you ever think about your life in relation to the amount of happiness you experience rather than the problems that plague you?.

Are you just existing rather than pursuing your dreams due to past trauma or people pleasing behavior? You are not alone and deserve to be happy. The therapy process allows you to explore who you are, what you want and how to get there from where you are right now. I look forward to working with you to increase your self-worth and emotional being in a safe, non-judgemental environment. 

I hail from the East Coast and relocated to the Central Coast 5 years ago to pursue my LCSW licensure. I bring a holistic approach to therapy by integrating culture, strengths and motivation to help my clients to achieve their life goals. .

You can’t beat the weather here and I really enjoy walking on the beach, whether locally or up and down the coast, visiting quaint towns and meeting welcoming people. I do have a slight addiction to Words with Friends which exercises my mind. 

If you’re interested in booking with me or hearing more, please feel free to contact me at
