In my practice, I emphasize nurturing over shame, guiding clients away from unhealthy beliefs given to us by family, culture, and society, and towards a path of self-compassion and empowerment. Using metaphors, life lessons, as well as lots of humor, I try to teach my clients how to be their own therapist.
My Approach

I'm not your average counselor—I'm a mental health game-changer! I have always loved games and what they teach us about cooperation, persistence and how to learn from our mistakes. Let's find a way to slay our dragons, discover our inner strength, and help you take back your story.
Just Be You!
