A Little About Me I think it's only fair that I share a little about myself as you consider trusting me as your compassionate listener, therapist and coach. I have over 17 years of experience helping folks gain an understanding of their life experiences and guiding them to a more rewarding life trajectory. I'm skilled at providing direct one-on-one therapy, case management, group therapy and coaching. In the year of 2006, I obtained my Bachelor's Degree in Family Relationships/Human Development. Later on, I decided to pursue a Master's Degree in Social Work in which I obtained my MSW in 2017. Therapeutic Approach Life can be overwhelming, and I am here to help you normalize your emotions and thoughts without shame as you figure life out. I believe everyone has the ability to successfully cope with life transitions and traumas; and therapy with me allows a non-judgmental space to talk through your feelings, thought patterns and repeated cycles while making strides to peace. Do you feel that you lack the skills and support to recover? I have solutions! Let's connect and dig deep. Trauma Does your nervous system always feel like it is in a constant state of alert? Do you feel unsafe while out an about? Because of my passion for helping folks release trauma from their bodies, I prefer to work with people who have been impacted by adverse childhood experiences. While treating trauma symptoms, I make sure to take into consideration how these experiences have impacted your life trajectory, interpersonal and intrapersonal communication. Let's work together by incorporating psychotherapy, somatic modalities and other healing practices to better regulate your emotions.
