I’m a firm believer that healing begins with understanding the impact of trauma on the mind and body.

My therapeutic approach aims to create a safe space where clients can explore their experiences freely. My approach not only addresses these symptoms of trauma but also equips clients with the tools to cope with challenges they may come from trauma. I help and support clients in developing skills for managing their emotions and reactions in their daily life.

I work on creating an environment where clients feel safe and understood. I prioritize a warm, compassionate approach that encourages openness and vulnerability. Working in substance use counseling, one of my goals is to meet an individual where they are at and create the recovery journey from that point. Therapy is a partnership. I work collaboratively with my clients to ensure they feel heard and validated throughout the healing process. I honor and respect the diverse backgrounds of our clients. My practice is inclusive, providing culturally sensitive therapy that considers the nuances of each individual's experiences.

I’m committed to reducing the stigma surrounding mental health issues and advocating for the importance of trauma-informed care in our community. At the heart of my practice I believe that each individual has the capacity for growth. I empower clients to take an active role in their healing journey, fostering a sense of agency and control over their lives.
