I am a Trauma Informed Specialist. I bring to my practice a unique blend of specialized training and life experiences. It is my belief that many fears, anxiety and behaviors have some form of trauma behind them. To determine the best treatment plan, I use the client's strengths to aid in achieving their goals. I am a Christian and believe that including an individual's faith in God is important for complete healing. I am sensitive to cultural differences and work with individuals from many nations. I have experience working with: PTSD, Addiction Recovery, Family, Couple, Single Parents, Children, and Single Adults.
I use a variety of methods to meet my clients needs: Trauma Based Techniques, Play and Sand Therapy, Art, CBT, EFT, Talk Therapy, Addiction Relapse Prevention and Strength Based. I offer in office and Telehealth via Zoom.
I provide empathetic and trauma informed therapy. My goal is to provide a non-judgmental space for you to process your thoughts and feelings. We will work together for a better you.
