Living is the journey from not knowing to knowing. From not understanding to understanding. From confusion to clarity.

I consider myself a person that is very organized and one who takes pride in everything she does. I believe success means doing things with the utmost excellence even when no one is looking. I have a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Capella University, and have been working as an Administrative Assistant for over 10 years. This field has taught me the rules of engagement with people and how to operate and run a successful office all around.  In time to come I will be pursuing my MBA, as business strategies and growth is one of my passions.

I am a singer, songwriter who loves to sing all the time. I am currently the praise team leader at my church and I'm in pursuit of my own album. Last but not least, family is very important to me; at the end of each day spending time with my husband and three children brings me joy, and is the highlight of my days. 

I'm a POC therapist who is a thinker, kind and who will challenge you to explore your psyche so you can understand yourself as well as you do others. My core motivation when empowering others, is to assist them in achieving a fulfilling, authentic, and connected life. I am also an Approved Clinical Supervisor.

As a therapist who works with young professionals, there is this ongoing theme where the perfectionism, pressure to perform, and people-pleasing that is common in many young women and men is leading to exhaustion, self-sabotage, and burnout. Lets stop doing the same thing and take charge of writing your own narrative.
