I believe in the strength and resilience each of us possess as human beings. Life can be easy when everything goes exactly as we plan… but it rarely if ever does. The ability to identify and lean on our unique inherent strengths and successfully navigate life’s myriad challenges is essential to achieving and maintaining optimal mental health. By emphasizing individual, environmental, and community strengths, I work with clients to help them overcome their challenges and accompany them on their journey to success and happiness. Traumatic experiences of all shapes and sizes have a lasting impact on the way we perceive and interact with the world and can manifest in ways that prevent us from living our best lives. Helping clients process through and reshape their relationship with whatever traumas they might have faced is what I aim to do. Much of my experience has been working with youth and adolescents, though often the most impactful processes have involved work with parents/caretakers to positively impact the entire system affecting the individual. Coming from a social work background, I always look at all factors that conspire to shape the world around my clients.
