About My Clients
Are you a high-functioning professional, caregiver, or leader who holds it together for everyone else while quietly carrying stress, trauma, grief, or burnout? Do you identify as BIPOC, a veteran, first responder, educator, or healthcare worker navigating demanding roles and complex identities? Are you feeling stuck in survival mode—disconnected from yourself or your relationships—and ready for trauma-informed support that moves beyond coping and into sustainable, real-world change?
My Background and Approach
My approach is down-to-earth, supportive, and structured. I focus first on helping your body and mind feel calmer and more stable before diving into deeper issues. I use proven therapy methods and body-based tools to help you manage emotions, understand patterns, and feel more in control of your responses. Therapy with me is a partnership—we move at a pace that feels safe, clear, and doable. I’ve been helping people navigate life’s challenges for over 25 years. I began my work in counseling within Christian ministry, and later completed formal clinical training, associate licensure, and full licensure as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. This long path has allowed me to work with people across many seasons of life and gives me a practical, real-world understanding of stress, trauma, grief, and healing.My goal is to help you get out of survival mode, rebuild confidence and connection, and create changes that actually show up in your everyday life.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe healing is not about fixing what is broken, but about restoring what has been overwhelmed, ignored, or forced to survive for far too long. As The Healing Advocate, I value truth, emotional safety, and dignity above performative wellness or quick fixes. I believe people make sense in the context of what they’ve lived through, and that symptoms are not flaws—they are signals. My work is rooted in trauma-informed, culturally responsive care, with deep respect for the nervous system, generational patterns, and lived experience. I advocate for those who have learned to be strong at their own expense: BIPOC individuals, professionals, caregivers, veterans, first responders, and helpers who carry invisible weight. I believe regulation comes before insight, compassion must be paired with accountability, and healing should expand choice, capacity, and freedom—not dependency. I care deeply about breaking cycles, positive transformation and the value of healing.
