Helping You Heal, Find Clarity & Feel Aligned

You’ve worked so hard to get where you are, yet something still feels off. Instead of enjoying your success, you feel anxious, frustrated, and disconnected from the sense of peace you crave. You know your past plays a role in this, but you don’t want to keep living under its weight. You’re ready for change. You want to move from knowing you are worthy to actually feeling it—and you’re looking for someone you can trust to help you get there.

That’s where I come in.

I help driven, ambitious individuals who are tired of being stuck in frustration and anxiety. My approach isn’t about just managing symptoms—it’s about real healing. Together, we’ll go back to those painful experiences, work through them, and release what’s holding you back. There won’t be any worksheets, but there will be humor, music, brain demonstrations, and deep conversations that help you understand your “why.” Even though we meet online, the space we create together will feel just as real and supportive as if we were in the same room.

For the past eight years, I’ve helped clients struggling with anxiety, trauma, sexual trauma, and self-esteem challenges. My clients typically see me weekly, so they can get the consistent support they need to move from survival mode to emotional stability. Many of them describe the process as going from feeling like they had to compartmentalize everything just to get through the day—to no longer needing to hide from their emotions because they have finally healed.

Assessments: Finding Answers, Not Just Labels

In addition to therapy, I specialize in comprehensive psychological assessments for children, teens, and adults. With eight years of experience conducting assessments in schools, corporate settings, and private practice, I provide evaluations for:

✅ ADHD
✅ Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
✅ Learning Disabilities
✅ Depression & Mood Disorders
✅ Personality Assessments
✅ Social & Emotional Functioning

I know that getting an assessment can feel overwhelming, but my goal is to make the process clear, supportive, and empowering. It’s not just about receiving a diagnosis—it’s about understanding why certain challenges exist and figuring out the best path forward. At one point, I considered stepping away from assessments, but the feedback I received from parents and individuals changed my mind. I constantly hear how these evaluations have helped families understand their child, guided educators in creating the right support, or even given adults long-overdue answers about themselves. That’s why I continue to do this work.

I stay up to date with the latest research and regularly attend seminars, webinars, and conferences to ensure my clients receive the most accurate and insightful evaluations as a mental health professional in Belize.

👉 Please note: While I offer comprehensive assessments, I do not provide court-mandated evaluations, as I do not testify in court.

Workshops & Couples Training

Alongside therapy and assessments, I also provide trainings and workshops for individuals, professionals, and couples. As a trained Making Marriage Work Facilitator and Prepare & Enrich Facilitator, I help couples strengthen their relationships using research-based strategies that build deeper connection and understanding.

Who I Am (Beyond Therapy & Assessments)

Outside of my work, I’m a wife, a mother, and an explorer at heart. I love to travel—not just for the adventure but for the opportunity to learn and experience new cultures. I’m also a creative person who enjoys DIY projects, spending time at the beach, and finding those rare, quiet moments to recharge.

I’m currently a Master’s level Clinical Psychologist. I am pursuing my Doctoral Degree in Clinical Psychology because I believe in continuing to grow, evolve, and deepen my knowledge, both for myself and for my clients. I am licensed to practice in Belize and the Cayman Islands, allowing me to support clients in multiple locations.

Whether through therapy, assessments, or workshops, my goal is to help you understand yourself, heal, and step into the life you truly deserve.
