Services offered

I developed a love of psychology at a very young age along with spirituality however 18 years of being a homemaker kind of hindered my education and experience, although I have vast personal experience in all areas of life. After ten years of this life, I decided to further my education diving into forensic psychology incorporating my family and spiritual life in order to be a skilled and dedicated mental health professional. Although my experience is recent, I have demonstrated success in providing exceptional care and implementing advice to vulnerable individuals and those with mental health issues. Compassionate professional expertise in communication, building relationship and trust while remaining confidential. Working in diverse settings with individuals and groups being an effective motivator, communicator, and advocate. Abilities to diffuse stressful situations and achieve challenging goals.
