Greetings, I am delighted to introduce myself as a dedicated practitioner with over 25 years of experience in working with trauma in various capacities. Armed with a BSW and MSW, my journey has been enriched by a deep commitment to guiding individuals towards healing and growth. My extensive experience has been my greatest teacher. Through the years, I've had the privilege of working closely with diverse groups, including disabled clients, the elderly, and neurodivergent individuals. My personality, characterized by its straightforward nature and a hearty sense of humor, forms the backdrop for my therapeutic approach.
I've observed patterns while working with clients have reinforced the significance of addressing themes such as childhood abuse, parental substance abuse and generational trauma. These insights continue to shape my approach, which underscores the importance of empathy, fostering resilience, understanding, and grace in building a strong therapeutic alliance.
My beliefs seamlessly intertwine with my treatment philosophy. A non-judgmental outlook, the provision of safety, compassion, and comfort are not just professional principles but also fundamental to my life philosophy. My faith, the belief in the inherent value of all individuals and a passionate pursuit of justice and equity form the core of who I am.
