Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a combined history of 20 years experience in community building, school systems and private practice. Some would describe myself as a Social Worker by nature. I am passionate about helping others; particularly helping others help themselves.

My approach to therapy

In my years of practice, I have recognized the resonance of traumas in our lives and the hidden impacts they have on our day to day. Therapy aides in the identification of said traumas and its healing; inner healing. I am a true believer in the work of inner healing. Exploring our past experiences may trigger painful memories. However, with the support of a trained professional, such as myself, the painful memories may be healed leading to the transformation of our present followed by that of our future. This is the practice of inner healing; uncovering past traumas, exploring the related feelings and later beginning to heal those wounds that have been unconsciously impacting our behaviors, relationships and everyday experiences.

What you can expect from me

I will guide you through the journey of uncovering traumas that may trigger feelings of angst, sadness and confusion. Once said traumas are uncovered, the inner healing begins. Allow me to guide you through this journey.
