Life brings changes which can often be challenging. I created the STAR of Wellness because I've learned—after a series of life-challenging changes—that tapping into the power that lies within can ultimately help us shine even stronger, wiser, better and brighter.

Amen Clinics Method
STARS of Wellness has affiliated with Dr. Daniel G. Amen’s highly respected program for treating ADD in 2015. We chose the Amen Clinics Method due to the combination of over 25 years of experience and their evidence-based practices for helping people challenged by ADD to live successful and happy lives.
This resource, integrated into the STARS of Wellness treatment approach, helps us equip and empower the children, teens, parents, and adults we serve to make treatment options that are individually tailored to foster optimal brain-based wellness.

Like many clinical psychologists in the field of helping others, my professional identity has been shaped by personal and impactful life changes. With a deep understanding of the transition process, I believe all systems of our whole being need support whenever we’re faced with having to adapt to a new reality. By providing a warm and supportive environment, I’m dedicated to helping people cope with life’s changes both comprehensively and holistically. My passion is to shine a light on the journey of personal transformation with an appreciation for the inner strengths needed to adjust effectively. Like the symbol of the compass star, I created my model of mental wellness to help you navigate and transcend the difficulties associated with adapting to life’s most stressful situations. As an experienced “agent of positive change,” I believe the purpose of therapy is to help you clarify your “core” truth with insight and awareness. Paramount to the empowerment process is the task of translating your core truth into the steps necessary to achieve an even better quality of life.
