If you are having feelings of insecurity, fear or impulsive, if others have noticed you are irritable, angry or having feelings of depression, anxiety, negative beliefs and difficulties in relationships at school, home or on the job. Do you want to be able to recognize triggers, stop avoiding issues and gain coping skills. Do you want to be happier, feel more capable, gain confidence and knowledge about how you have gotten to this point? As a trauma informed therapist I can help you build solution focus skills to address trauma symptoms and understand how ACES’s (Adverse Childhood Experiences) affect your actions today.

I can help, as a holistic trauma informed therapist I believe healing begins when you meet clients where they are and provide a safe space for healing. By meeting you where you are you gain coping skills with mindfulness cognitive therapy and a person treatment plan to inspire and motivate sustainable effective change and help you find your True North.
Helping you understand your adverse childhood experiences and how your past affects your present I engage in a positive, motivational, faith based (when requested) approach derived from experiences. Through Trauma integrated therapy and evidence-based practices I guide you to build skills and gain power to establish a safe environment and get unstuck.
