I am deeply invested in promoting mental health awareness and reducing the stigma associated with seeking help. I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to live a fulfilling and meaningful life. I am passionate about creating a safe and non-judgmental space where my clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. My therapeutic ethos is grounded in client-centered principles, emphasizing compassion, trust, and understanding. I hold a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from University of Massachusetts Global, and a Bachelor of Science in Sociology from Arizona State University.
