"Personal growth and healing is a life-long journey." -Scarlett
WhAT TYPE OF THERAPIST am I?
In short: I help people heal their inner wounds. You and I will explore new healthy behavioral patterns by acquiring, learning, and practicing necessary important life skills.
Slightly longer than short explanation: I am an inner wound healing therapist and healthy boundaries coach. I assist you in giving a voice to the inner wounds you carry. I use a variety of therapy techniques and incorporate a wholesome approach (looking at the psychological, physical, emotional, spiritual, and social aspects of your life) to help promote personal growth and healing. I believe a healthy therapy relationship, through trust-building, will help elevate and encourage you through various situations.

What types of clients do i work with?
I work with women and BIPOC adults who are tired of being 'the strong one' in their personal life and career. These are individuals who are ready for change, want to heal their inner wounds, and create healthy boundaries. Each therapy session is curtailed to fit your needs.

some cool facts about ME....
- I was a part of several Southeastern Conference (SEC) and East Regional Championship teams at the University of Florida, so I am able to connect with the competitive & winning mindset and championship goals. In addition, I was an SEC Academic Honor Roll recipient and NCAA Academic All-American.
- I authored a therapeutic journal called My Worries & Wins Journal ©️ (available on Amazon)
- I am a Pacific Islander from the beautiful islands of Sāmoa. And thanks to Ancestry.com I was able to find out that my heritage comes from various islands of the Pacific and Ireland.
The not so cool stuff, but i still have to share....
I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with an additional certification as Child Mental Health Professional (CMHP), officially trained in the use of CBT+, and a Clinical Supervisor (Washington State Only).
I hold a Master of Arts Degree in Counseling with an emphasis in Marriage, Family, & Child Therapy (via Webster University, 2012) and a Bachelor Degree in Recreation Therapy (via University of Florida, 2005).

WHAT DO THE LETTERS BEHIND my NAME MEAN? (a little humor to help)
Basically that I am more than qualified to do what I do, so here's the break down:
- MA = Master of Arts for the degree I graduated with from Webster University (Interpretation: Coffee and I were best friends during these years because there were many long nights)
- LMFT = Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (Interpretation: I did ALL the things each state government said I had to do to get this distinction in each state I am licensed in. Plus I passed the national test, which again during these times--coffee ran strong in my veins)
- CMHP = Child Mental Health Professional (Interpretation: When I worked with kids with mental health challenges and I became so good, the WA government said 'Here you go! You get a gold star and another bunch of letters to add to your name!')
