Have you experienced neglect, abuse, or traumatic events? Abuse is often hard to understand as victims tend to be authentic, honest, and hopeful. The effects of abuse and trauma bring multiple effects as it creates real changes in the way the brain processes - you are not alone. Has navigating medical answers or conditions created many emotions or even a loss of identity? Has someone you love been struggling with medical conditions? Have medical conditions brought loss to you or your family through the loss of a loved one, divorce, disability, stillborn, or miscarriage?

This lived experience allows me to connect with clients on a profound level, offering empathy, insights, and strategies that are grounded in real-world challenges and triumphs.

Experiencing trauma, along with other unwanted life events, can leave you feeling dysregulated; more irritable, lacking focus, and perhaps experiencing an increase in interpersonal conflict.

I provide an experience where your problems can be addressed in an open, non-judgmental, and confidential setting. I am not a passive therapist.

It may involve overcoming anxiety, depression or addiction(s). Lastly, learning may involve restoring broken trust or estrangement.
