About My Clients
Are you easily stressed and overwhelmed? Constantly worry about your safety or your child's safety? Do past negative experiences or events replay in your mind? Poor sleep? Do you not feel good enough at work, as a parent, or in your relationships? Feel stuck in certain patterns and believe there is no way to change it? Worry about being a good enough parent due to your childhood? Trauma focused therapy can provide the resources and tools to reduce, redirect, or stop these types of challenges.
My Background and Approach
As a trauma specialist, I understand the lasting impact of overwhelming childhood experiences or how past negative life events influence our thoughts, feelings, and behavior in the present. It is important to understand the role of the brain and the nervous system within negative, overwhelming, and/or traumatic experiences. Once this is understood, we can shift away from "what is wrong with me that I do this?" to a new view of and story about oneself. As a EMDR-C certified clinician, I can provide the mindful guidance and tools needed for the reprocessing of traumatic experiences at a pace that is deliberate, comfortable, and effective the client.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As a person of color with intersecting identities, I understand the experience of “otherness.” The battle with dominant culture messaging about ourselves like not good enough, less than, not belonging. It is because of this personal understanding that I strongly believe in a strength based, multicultural, and LGBT+ affirmative approach to my work and relationships with clients. Reach out. Let’s collaborate and make change together!
