Years of Experience: 12 years

I became a mental health professional because I’m passionate about helping people live their best lives. I specialize in working with teenagers and families, guiding you through difficult times and supporting you through the challenges of life.

Mental wellness is crucial; if you’re not taking care of yourself, it impacts how you feel, your relationships, and your overall well-being. I see mental wellness as something everyone should focus on to become the best version of themselves.
