I have dedicated my career to support my clients through their journey to be able to improve their quality of living. I attended California State University of Dominguez Hills to which I received my Master’s in Martial and Family Therapy. In addition to my education, I have 17 years experience working with children and families, 10 of which have been in the clinical setting. As a Chickasaw woman, I understand the importance of incorporating ones culture into treatment and tailoring treatment to meet the individual needs of my clients.
My goals for my clients are to support them in developing healthy thoughts, behaviors, and ability to process emotions as well as to improve their quality of living.
