About

I am passionate about my work and helping individuals gain insight and understanding in their own challenges, strengths, limits, and abilities. As a proponent of holistic healing, I am working toward the use of yoga, yoga for trauma, meditation, and wellness coaching in my practice. My specialties include behavioral and mental health, substance use/abuse/dependence, LGBTQIA+ issues, and trauma with training in EMDR for difficult cases. From experience, I know, regardless of the difficulties in life, there is always a solution/change which can happen to help you find a positive to every situation -even if is not what you thought.

I specialize in multiple areas but have special interests in substance use/abuse disorders, trauma and abuse, LGBTQIA+ issues, and those harmed or hurt by the church, religion, or other various organized groups, and wanting their voice to be heard.

I have seen and experienced tragedies and emotional trauma. This has given me a deeper understanding and empathy for the suffering and pain people carry and have a hard time working through alone. I want to hold space for my clients, allowing them to do the work needed, while gently guiding them on their own unique healing journey.
