My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As an individual who experienced Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), I encountered challenges and loss at a young age that motivated me develop coping strategies to heal from traumatic situations and to have the initiative to receive professional education and training to assist others going through difficult times. To be an effective therapist, it's important for me to be authentic, accepting, and continually educate myself on social justice issues and ethical concerns. Whatever background and values you may hold, I am here to offer a secure place for you to meet. I understand that the world is a beautiful yet scary place; processing feelings and experiences you encounter is important. To restore, I currently find meaning and inspiration in my life through connecting with nature and through nature photography and art such as acrylic painting and mixed modality. Through nature and creating art, I find peace and also enjoy doing these activities in community with others.
