"Your past does not define your present or your future"
I understand that each person's story is unique, and I approach each client, each story with empathy, compassion, and respect. I have extensive experience in the field of mental health and have dedicated my career to helping individuals who have faced significant challenges in their lives. Through years of working closely with incarcerated individuals, the severely mentally ill, the unhoused, and those who have been hospitalized in state facilities, I have gained profound understanding and knowledge of client experiences and the impact these experiences can have on mental well-being.
My goal is to meet each client where they are on their mental health journey. I use a combination of evidence based practices to help clients with the following:
1. Heal from Past Trauma: I specialize in trauma-informed care, guiding you through the healing process with empathy, understanding, and evidence-based interventions. I will work collaboratively to address the impact of past traumas, providing you with effective coping strategies to move forward and reclaim your strength.
2. Navigate Life's Transitions: Life is full of changes, and they can often be overwhelming. Whether you're experiencing a major life transition or struggling with unexpected shifts, we are here to support you. I will help you develop resilience, adaptability, and the necessary skills to navigate these transitions with grace and confidence.
3. Embrace Self-Forgiveness: We all make mistakes, but they don't define who we are. My therapeutic approach focuses on self-compassion and self-forgiveness. Through introspection and personalized guidance, I will help you release guilt, shame, and regret, allowing you to embrace a future filled with self-love and personal growth.
4. Cultivate Self-Empowerment: Our ultimate goal is to empower you to become the best version of yourself. By providing you with a supportive space, I'll help you identify and challenge limiting beliefs, develop healthy boundaries, and enhance your self-esteem. You'll gain the tools and confidence to create a life that aligns with your values, passions, and aspirations
