I am the Clinical Social Worker and founder of Mental Balance & Wellness Practice, providing empowered care through connection, healing, and purpose. I offer psychotherapy for adults seeking support with trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My approach integrates evidence-based treatments such as EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and trauma-informed care with holistic practices including yin yoga, guided meditation, and mindfulness. Through these yoga-informed services, I help clients restore balance, cultivate vitality, and reconnect with their bodies in ways that enhance emotional and physical well-being. This mind-body model supports nervous system regulation, builds resilience, reduces stress, and promotes lasting emotional balance. My goal is to create a safe, grounded space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered to move toward meaningful and sustainable change.

Approach to Therapy

My approach to therapy is grounded in curiosity, dignity, and whole-person healing. My work in a county jail shaped my deep belief in nonjudgment and the power of seeing each person’s full humanity. As a social worker, I view struggles through a systemic lens, recognizing the impact of family patterns, culture, and intergenerational trauma. I integrate EMDR, yoga-informed therapy, and mindfulness to help clients process trauma, regulate their nervous system, and build emotional balance. I also support adults with ADHD through screening, referrals, and practical coaching strategies. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients can heal and grow at their own pace.
