I value modeling transparency, care, boundaries, and healthy support systems. I believe that challenging dialogue in a safe environment leads to internal growth.

Grief and trauma often leave us feeling broken and damaged, alone and helpless, and fighting to just survive. You might not recognize yourself now or remember a time you didn't feel like this. Your grief may be so overwhelming that you don't even know what you feel. Either way, one thing is for sure: you're ready for some relief. You're ready to face your trauma and begin to heal. You're ready to feel the sun on your face. Most of all, you're ready to live again with a sense of hope and joy.

Patients whom engage in treatment with me, as their therapist, will be given a safe outlet and the development of trust within the relationship. Patients will be given the opportunity to share events, emotions, and perceptions of circumstances which have led them to needing mental health therapy.

Both privately and professionally I have gained insight to help persons recognize themselves as more than survivors..
