About Me

I’m a firm believer in the importance of spending quality time with those I care about. Whether it’s playing tennis or pickleball with my siblings, attending community events with friends and family, or simply relaxing at home with my daughter and dog, I always strive to create lasting memories with my loved ones. I also enjoy traveling, exploring new places, listening to music, and dancing—activities that bring joy and balance to my life.

As a mental health therapist, I’m deeply motivated by the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of my patients. My philosophy of care revolves around getting to know each patient, understanding their unique needs, and collaborating to create an individualized treatment plan. I aim to empower and encourage my patients to take necessary steps to help improve their daily lives and strengthen their sense of well-being.

I believe in the importance of giving back to the community, and I often participate in local outreach initiatives that support underserved populations. Whether it’s through health education or volunteering my time, I find great fulfillment in contributing to a stronger, more compassionate community.
