I am passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges and working through past experiences so they can function in healthy ways. The world today can leave people feeling depleted, anxious, overwhelmed, and as if they are not measuring up to some impossible standard. All this pressure impacts people’s ability to function in healthy ways leaving them mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually exhausted. My goal is to help you understand patterns that repeat, address overwhelm and chaotic living, and uncover and embrace who you truly are so you can have a peaceful and grounded existence. As a part of Hope and Healing Counseling Services, I offer an eclectic and holistic approach tailor made for each client’s specific needs. I meet you where you are and walk beside you on the healing path to discovering what and where you want to be. I provide trauma informed care free of judgement as we are all shaped by our lived experiences. My clinical experience has been in community mental health, so I have addressed a multiplicity of needs and diagnoses including Bi-polar Disorder, PTSD/C-PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, Traumatic Brain Injuries, chronic medical conditions, and other significant disorders. I also have experience addressing parenting needs, assisting those in long term recovery address mental health needs, helping clients advocate for themselves with medical or other needs, and exploring identity issues from a multicultural perspective.
