About My Clients

I am so grateful that I have a job where I can meet so many interesting people! In seeking services for yourself, you have already taken a big step towards healing! You are wishing to make steps towards self-knowledge and learning skills in coping with symptoms and stress.

My Background and Approach

I have worked for over 20 years as a therapist specializing in working with children that are victims of abuse and trauma. More recently, at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, I was working at a public health center with a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and was able to see the long-term effects of stress. This can affect people in so many areas of their lives including physical health, mental health, education, employment, substance abuse, and relationships. These concerns can follow people for decades. During the pandemic, we especially see the need to take care of ourselves on the emotional, spiritual and physical levels. So many people are struggling right now! So many kids have spent the pandemic isolated from their friends and struggling with virtual schooling. It is no wonder that depression and anxiety have increased so much. Please know that you are not alone!! I truly enjoy helping people realize their strengths to heal in a positive way.
