I empower community members to overcome trauma, which may include early childhood trauma, relational trauma, and attachment woundings. I work with clients to build a state of being through wholeness. Clients will learn skills to empower themselves and build a strong self concept. Through this, we unpack trauma and co-create a loving, healthy central nervous system.

What type of Lakeland mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.
If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist or psychologist, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.
