About me
I am passionate about helping people who might be feeling fragmented or alone to reconnect with themselves, their loved ones, and their communities. With a background in clinical social work and ministry, I can help you bridge your mental health recovery and spiritual journey into one path.
As a trauma survivor turned provider, I understand the value of seeking therapy for the journey. Therapy can provide a safe space for us to begin living into the answers of questions that build our self awareness, understanding of those we love, and ability to navigate the circumstances we face in our lives, relationships, and environment.
I love to empower individuals to embrace their unique voices and experiences as part of the recovery process and have facilitated events to raise awareness around mental health stigma, spiritual trauma, and racism. I have experience working within a faith-based community where I provided pro bono counseling services while directing a recovery community. Other settings I have worked in include foster care, inpatient behavioral health, and faith based advocacy.
If you decide to embark on the therapy journey with me, I will collaboratively work with you to guide the process of mental health and trauma recovery while weaving techniques from various theoretical frameworks to meet your unique needs.
