About

"Seen. Heard. Empowered."

Welcome to Decoded — I’m so glad you’re here. Decoded was born from a deep belief that everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and empowered. After years of working with youth in the juvenile justice system, group homes, and community settings, I saw over and over, young people with so much potential but not enough spaces where they felt safe to show up as their full selves. I created Decoded as more than just a behavioral health center. This is a place for real conversations, healing on your own terms, and learning how to advocate for YOU. Whether you’re navigating tough emotions, building better relationships, or just figuring things out, it's okay. We’re here to walk with you every step of the way. The work we do together isn’t just about therapy—it’s about helping you uncover your strengths, tap into your voice, and feel confident moving forward. My goal is for every client to leave feeling just a little more powerful than when they came in. You matter here. And we’re honored to be part of your journey.
