About My Clients

I work with individuals who have experienced trauma, rejection, abandonment, or other life challenges that attempt to define or diminish their sense of worth and identify. I believe most mental health struggles stem from underlying issues we may not even be aware of. We all carry wounds in some form. My goal is not just to address symptoms but to help you uncover the root causes of your challenges. Together, we'll work to understand these deeper issues and create lasting growth and healing.

My Background and Approach

I hold a bachelor's in addiction, chemical Dependency, and substance use disorders and a master's in professional counseling. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist, I have extensive experience treating diverse mental health issues, with a focus on addressing the trauma rooted in many disorders. I have faced my own share of difficult and negative life experiences, which allows me to deeply relate to others on a human level. I want my clients to know that there is virtually nothing they can share about their past, thoughts, behaviors, or experiences that will shock or deter me. My commitment is to provide a space of acceptance and understanding, no matter what.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I personally believe that healing and mental wellness starts with connection. We live in a society that is too quick to reject what they don't understand. Rejection always leads to disconnection, which is at the very root of almost every mental health disorder. Throughout my life and career, I have had the privilege of working with individuals from nearly every population, background, belief system, and social group, which has deepened my understanding and approach for diverse perspectives and experiences.
