Throughout life’s journey, we can face challenges, transitions, and trials. Perhaps you are seeking and longing for growth, change, and a healthy way to cope with life’s stressors. In therapy, a safe place is created so that you can navigate life stressors by incorporating healthy coping skills. Often times, we can feel like we are stuck. Stuck in behaviors, patterns, or even relationships. We see the hopeful path ahead but are struggling to take the first step. In therapy, you also gain understanding of the root cause of certain patterns and mindsets. Therapy can become the place of healing, growth, and change.

My prominent specialty is treating trauma and PTSD symptoms (Posttraumatic Stress Disorder). Each person's traumatic experience is unique to the individual due to many factors such as relationships, personality, coping skills, strengths, risk factors, and perception on life can influence how a person manages their trauma. I completed my doctorate degree by doing extensive research on trauma-related resiliency factors amongst those who have been through child abuse, as well as years of clinical experience working with trauma victims. Shame/guilt issues is a significant focus of the trauma work I do in improving a client's resilience.
