Trauma-Informed Care with a Purpose

During my internship at Hartgrove Behavioral Health Hospital, I specialized in trauma recovery, substance use, and dual diagnosis therapy. By redefining mental health care terminology, I fostered understanding and reduced stigma. My approach? Everyone is diagnosable, but no one is their diagnosis.

Through relatable analogies, I helped clients view anxiety, depression, and emotional energy in a new light. For example:

• Anxiety represents built-up energy requiring purposeful release.

• Depression signifies low energy, inviting restorative action.

By transforming destructive responses into constructive habits—like exercise or self-care—I helped clients rebuild confidence and self-worth.

Strengthening Families and Communities

As a Family and Teen Therapist, I’ve facilitated holistic healing within family units, reduced recidivism, and fostered positive communication. Recently, I’ve dedicated my expertise to helping children and families navigate behavioral challenges and guiding couples in rebuilding relationships through understanding and communication.

Empowering Change Through Tailored Care

I specialize in client-centered, strength-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with existential undertones. My approach is to:

• Meet clients where they are and focus on solutions.

• Empower individuals to control their thoughts and actions.

• Transform self-doubt into a mindset of “Yes, I can.”

My passion lies in providing validation, critical thinking skills, and hope restoration, helping clients align their mind, body, and spirit. Together, we redefine what’s possible, moving beyond diagnoses to uncover true purpose and potential.
