About My Clients

Sometimes we all need a little encouragement, guidance, validation, motivation, and a safe space to voice our concerns, feelings, thoughts, ideas, and questions. It can be overwhelming trying to juggle life and have a safe person to trust with your most pressing concerns in life. You should be able to have a safe space to outlet concerns, bounce ideas off of and be a listening ear when needed. I look forward to teaching you how to take back control of life and cope with stress.

My Background and Approach

What makes Self Reflections Therapy unique is the ability to help you better address your trauma. I currently specialize and I am certified in Trauma Recovery Empowerment Model. This is an evidence based model that focuses on healing from trauma. I can help with both therapy and emotional support through ongoing cases. Services are also person centered! I have worked with clientele from all different backgrounds, cultures, and ages in spectrums such as domestic violence victims/survivors, sexual assault, homicide, substance abuse, and integrating those who have been incarcerated back into the community for over 6 years. My focus in therapy sessions is working together to address concerns holistically. My approach in therapy is to help you uncover and recognize patterns in your experiences and help you connect these experiences to behaviors, triggers and thoughts. My main goal is to help empower you to make decisions about your life that make you feel great about yourself!
