Therapy is more than processing trauma and negative situations that may have happened in your life. It is about learning how strong you are in spite of those situations. It is about establishing a connection with yourself that reveals your identity, helps you to trust yourself, grow in your personal faith, and create healthier behavior patterns.

As a therapist, I value clients who are ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth. It takes courage to take that first step, and I am here to support you throughout the process. My therapeutic style is grounded in a relational, solution-focused approach, which means I prioritize creating a non-judgmental and supportive space where clients feel heard, seen, and understood. I believe that each individual has a unique story, and it is my role to honor and validate that story through narrative therapy. Through active listening and thematic analysis, I help my clients identify what is most valuable to them, and together,

I know it is a daunting task to select someone to support your mental health needs and for me no one is "just a client." I would be honored to work with you. My clinical specialization is Trauma.

Have you been told that you are too sensitive? Do you notice and know things that most others seem to miss? Are you often overwhelmed by too much coming at you in the world and need a lot of alone time to recover from the stresses of daily life? Do you find yourself in relationships that are a one-way street? One in five people will answer "yes" to these questions. If you are one of them, you may be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). HSP's are often gifted, healers, caregivers (e.g., nurses, therapists, doctors), and artists. We excel at caring for others but may need guidance and support to learn how to also nurture ourselves.

I grew up abused and that drove me to want to help in any way I can. I envision working with people from teens up into their fifties. I just want to be the help to someone in a way that I wish I could have been when I was in need. If you don't quite know how to make sense of life, you just have no general direction, even if you've been successful, but want to level up I can help. Growing up the way I did made me develop a desire to help when people feel that they have nowhere to go. I have lived a lot of pain and I just want to give back.

You want to uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating, but you feel uncertain. You wonder if the goals you had 3 years ago will be relevant in the future.
