Studies suggest that trauma could make you more vulnerable to developing physical health problems, including long-term or chronic illnesses. These emotions might be because trauma can affect your body and mind, which can have a long-term impact on your physical health. You may be asking yourself, Could my own traumatic experiences cause a sense of self traits like incompetence, inferiority, degradation, depersonalization, or identity diffusion? ABSOLUTELY, YES!

Trauma is the response to a deeply distressing or disturbing event that overwhelms an individual's ability to cope, causes feelings of helplessness, and diminishes your sense of self and ability to feel a full range of emotions and experiences. It does not discriminate, and it is pervasive throughout the world.

Counseling is a sacred relationship between two fellow travelers that can help draw these qualities back to the forefront of our lives. To invite these qualities into our relationship, I take a curious, compassionate and collaborative approach.

I offer counseling through the viewpoint that trauma, inequalities, gender and sexuality, and everything around us impact us. This perspective empowers me best to serve individuals, families, and those in relationships. I encourage all people to live their truth and believe that all individuals deserve respect and the ability to use their voices.

When I am not working, I enjoy practicing mindfulness, reading, spending time on any body of water, traveling, exploring new places, and spending time with family and friends.
