As a trauma therapist, I hold that empathy, compassion, and hope are essential for establishing a trusting therapeutic relationship. My journey began by providing direct services to survivors of domestic violence, substance abuse, and homelessness. I am genuinely passionate about helping individuals uncover the root causes of their challenges and promoting transformation through an eclectic, trauma-informed approach. I believe that everyone possesses a unique purpose, and our lives achieve true fulfillment when we embrace that purpose by nurturing our inner light.
With more than eight years of experience, I have dedicated my career to treating addiction, trauma, and mental health disorders in shelters and rehabilitation centers. My specialized expertise includes working with the LGBTQIA+ community, focusing on relationship challenges and delivering trans-affirming care.
I’m motivated to ensuring our shared space feels warm and welcoming, even in a virtual setting. Remember, this is your journey, and you are the expert! With that in mind, your goals and outcomes will be rooted in your current life circumstances and challenges, and will evolve as you grow.
