I decided to become a counselor because I enjoy helping people, and I understand the impact trauma can have. I am passionate about supporting individuals in developing healthy coping mechanisms for conflict, relationships, and the influence of family dynamics on their present and future. My goal is to empower people to discover their potential and realize that their past does not have to define them.

I work best with clients aged 14 to 70 who are seeking a deeper understanding of their thought processes and are willing to do the necessary work to address the root causes of their challenges. I also excel at supporting individuals undergoing life transitions.

It's about what happened to you, not what's wrong with you. Many survivors carry profound shame, believing they are broken. Healing isn't about becoming a new person, but about releasing the heavy burden of shame and trauma to finally be themselves again. 

In the early stages of therapy, clients can expect me to take the time to build rapport, get to know them and their story, and approach all experiences with non-judgment. I strive to establish a connection and create a safe space where clients feel comfortable trusting me with confidential information. I also utilize measurement based care assessments, trauma informed strategies, tailored exercises and "check in" tools that serve as a bridge to help us deepen your understanding of your journey.

Tailoring therapy to meet each client's needs is the most important part of the process. It is important that the therapist gets a feel for the client, understanding what guidance works best, what type of support they need, and how to best approach challenges. I always tell my clients that they are the experts in their lives, and I am here as a sounding board to help them clear the path from obstacles of trauma.
