Therapist
As a trauma-informed therapist, I am passionate about helping you overcome the past trauma and find hope in your future again. I have a calming presence and strive to create a safe space where healing can occur. I recognize the challenges many face on their journey and find strength through watching others overcome their adversities and find peace. Change can be hard and I strive to elicit hope as I walk with people and empower them to become their best selves.
My areas of focus includes trauma, grief and loss, anxiety and depression, and relationship struggles. I assist with helping parents who's children who have experienced trauma and helping teach trauma informed parenting approaches. I meet people where they are and believe in creating an individual plan for growth.
I am passionate about working with people who have experienced grief and loss where they can feel heard and validated while developing coping strategies. I strive to create a trusting relationship with those I serve as they become vulnerable with their thoughts and feelings.
