"I believe that if a person is given the appropriate environment and support they can become their best self. Together we can take a look inward and work toward developing and unlocking the best you. For years we often hold ourselves prisoner, allow me the privilege to assist with developing personal insight into past traumas and future successes. By developing the capacity to live in the moment, we tap into our 5 senses and allow ourselves to truly live in the moment free of our past or future." |

It can become overwhelming when the hurdles and challenges appear to outweigh the moments of joy. Through working together, we can tackle the challenges of the past by allowing space to process what has occurred, learn from the past ,and move forward with increased awareness of the present moment.
I have been in the field since 2017, obtaining my masters of social work in 2021 from Baylor University. I specifically work with adult populations focusing on: depression, anxiety, , adoption, suicidal ideation, childhood trauma, C-PTSD, PTSD, parenting skills, co-parenting, pre/post-divorce support, and the LGBTQIA+ community. My approach is each person has a unique life journey they have lived, this means each life event will have a different impact and affect going forward. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I understand the importance of having a trauma informed therapist. I encourage you to take this next step of healing by beginning or continuing your therapy journey. |
