My Mission: I aim to empower you to take charge of your mental health by equipping you with the tools and skills necessary to enhance your overall well-being and quality of life.  

 

I understand many of the challenges you may be facing. Through faith, self-improvement, professional guidance, and nurturing relationships, I have found contentment and the ability to thrive. My own experiences with trauma during childhood, adolescence, and early adulthood have shaped my insight, wisdom, and resilience, providing me with a clear path to assist others.

 

Earning my Master’s Degree in counseling and becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) has been both a demanding and fulfilling journey.  These qualifications, combined with my personal experiences, empower me to offer you professional support. It’s essential to recognize that only you can determine the impact of your experiences. If you have faced trauma or challenging situations, I am here to help. I am trained in *EMDR and various therapeutic modalities.        

​

I specialize in trauma recovery, including related disorders such as PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Additionally, I have extensive experience assisting clients navigating life transitions, including grief and loss, as well as recovery from addiction and substance dependence.  Every individual’s needs are unique, and there are numerous therapeutic approaches available. Together, we will explore which methods resonate best with you. While I may not be an expert in every technique, I am committed to doing my utmost to support you or, if necessary, help you find another clinician who may be a better fit.  

​

*EMDR is a distinctive form of therapy designed to alleviate the effects and symptoms of trauma, as well as the negative emotions and thoughts that may arise in your current life and relationships.
