About

Helping others has been my passion since I was a child, as I always helped those who were sick and listened to others when they needed it. I truly do love people, animals, life and consider myself spiritual and a Christian. I take deep interest in overall health and wellness, and practical ways to incorporate these into my life. The mind and body are connected and both need to be addressed in order to obtain overall good health.

I have a history of working in the medical field, so I enjoy working with medical professionals. I also come from a family of first responders and am passionate about helping those who put their life on the line for our safety and freedom. From a young age, I was taught to respect all men and women in uniform and this has fueled my passion to this day.

My grandfather was a humble WWII veteran and was medically discharged due to physical injuries sustained in combat. My father served in the U.S. Army as an infantry soldier and later served in the National Guard. My uncle is a retired firefighter, in addition to close family members who have served or worked for the military. By recognizing the sacrifices they’ve made, it has inspired me to give back to the first responder community in my work. I feel honored to help this population.

Regardless of your profession and/or background, I hope that I can help you heal and decrease any primary issues or concerns you’d like to work on. My highest priority is your safety and comfort. I enjoy helping others learn more about themselves, while I guide and support them through life’s challenges. My hope is for you to heal and overcome any traumas or stressors you’re experiencing. Going to therapy takes courage and it can be intimidating to start with someone new. I’d love to assist you with your healing journey and advocate for you and your progress along the way.

I graduated with my Bachelors in Social Work in 2015. Through the Advanced Standing Program at University of Nevada, Reno I received my Masters in Social work where I graduated magna cum laude. I’ve been a member of the Phi Alpha Honor Society since 2015.
