My goal is to help people heal from trauma (PTSD, racial, identity based, complex, narcissistic abuse, childhood, sexual, etc). I am a good fit for people who struggle with identifying their internal feelings and needs, and are prone to feeling a sense of abandonment and loneliness. I work well with folks struggling with internalized perfectionism. I help folks, especially in the marginalized or minority communities, come to terms with the hurt that exists in the world, and help them build a sense of self that is independent of external circumstances. My work is present-focused, past-honoring and future-oriented.
I believe in care that is evidence-based and that can help my clients reach their goals. I help people identify how their past experiences are influencing their present, and recognizing things that truly matter to them. I focus on helping a person use that insight into working towards healing from the past, and building towards a hopeful future
I see myself as someone who joins my clients on their life journey and serve their needs in their attempt to improve their lives. If you are ready to take the step and work towards becoming your true authentic self, and heal from the hurts of the past, please reach out and let's work together to achieve your goals.
