Thoughts from the Founder

Living a life with intention, acceptance, authenticity and passion through the power of mindfulness, empowerment and joy is my mission. In my practice, I’ve had the honor to work with people dealing with difficult medical and mental health situations. A common theme in my interactions with clients has been,”, “finding happiness and peace within,” “reaching self-actualization,” “making dreams come true,” and “feeling content within”.  

We all want to find joy and peace, but at times we get stock and our minds become shattered and saturated with negative thoughts and disillusion. We might feel frustrated, vulnerable, alone, empty and in desperation to find balance and joy or even just some type of normalcy.  You don’t have to go through this healing process alone. I am committed to help you find all the qualities you possess and endure as you were made to be virtuous. Ones you find and accept your potential you’ll be able to succeed in every aspect you set your mind to. My hope is to create a safe space where you feel comfortable and at ease, able to share your thoughts and feelings providing you with the tools to learn how to quiet down the negative talk that might be holding you from the joyful life you deserve.

My goal as a therapist is to join you in your journey to finding your best self in a safe nonjudgmental environment. In doing this, we’ll be looking at your situation from a holistic perspective in which we consider every aspect of your life including, physical, mental, social, and past experiences that might be affecting your personal growth. 

I am married, mother of four beautiful daughters ranging from ages 33 to 11 years old. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, exercising, meditating, praying, volunteering and reading.
