Breathe. Inhale… exhale. Has your cape become kryptonite to your self-care? Have you been overwhelmed by life’s challenges, struggling to control your emotions, or battling self-doubt? Do you struggle to establish healthy boundaries? If so, you are not alone—and you don’t have to walk this journey by yourself. I am a trauma-informed therapist with 11 years of clinical experience and over 20 years as an educator and school counselor, equipping me to support individuals across diverse backgrounds with compassion, insight, and practical strategies. My integrative approach blends evidence-based practices with authenticity and a down-to-earth style. I provide a safe, judgment-free space where you can process past trauma, learn tools for growth, and rediscover your confidence and peace. If you would like your faith to be part of your therapeutic journey, I also offer the option of incorporating faith-based principles. I call this “where therapy meets faith” a space where emotional healing and spiritual growth can align. Together, we will work toward recharging, restoring balance, and cultivating resilience so you can step into the healthiest version of yourself.
I provide a down-to-earth, safe place where you can feel free to be yourself without judgment. Sometimes we just need to be heard, need professional guidance to address past trauma, or a positive place to progress into becoming the best you. Let’s refill, recharge, reset, and heal with Words Affirming Teaching and Encouraging Resorting.
As a trauma-informed and experienced educator, I believe my biggest strengths lie in my ability to create a safe and non-judgmental environment where clients can feel heard, validated, and supported. Here are some other areas where I feel particularly skilled: 1. Integrative approach: I use an integrative approach to therapy, which means that I draw on a range of therapeutic techniques and modalities to tailor my approach to each client's unique needs and goals. This allows me to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses the whole person - mind, body, and spirit. 2. Positive and affirming approach: I believe in the power of positive thinking and affirmations to help clients shift their mindset and improve their overall well-being. I strive to create a positive and encouraging atmosphere in my sessions, using words that affirm, teach, and encourage my clients to reach their full potential. 3. Trauma-informed care: I have extensive training and experience in working with clients who have experienced trauma. I understand the complexities of trauma and its impact on the mind and body, and I use evidence-based techniques to help clients heal from past traumas and improve their quality of life. 4. Educator experience: With 20 years of experience as an educator, I have a deep understanding of the challenges that individuals face in both academic and personal settings. I use this experience to help clients develop practical skills and strategies that they can apply in their daily life to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals. 5. Holistic wellness: I believe that wellness encompasses all aspects of an individual's life, including physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being. I work with clients to identify areas of their life that may be impacting their overall wellness, and we collaborate to develop a comprehensive plan for optimal health and well-being. In terms of my niche, I specialize in working with individuals who are struggling with self-care, emotional regulation, and setting healthy boundaries. I also have experience working with individuals who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges.
The clients best served are individuals who find themselves struggling with various life challenges and seeking support in regaining control over their emotional well-being. They may be experiencing feelings of overwhelm, mental exhaustion, and self-doubt, which may be impacting their ability to establish healthy boundaries.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and reframe negative thought patterns, improve emotional regulation, and develop healthy coping strategies. In my practice, CBT is tailored to each individual’s experiences, using thought logs, behavioral experiments, and skill-building exercises to foster practical, lasting change. I often integrate CBT with faith-based principles when requested, supporting clients through a holistic lens.
