LMFT, 15 years of experience
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I work with individuals, couples (pre and post-marital), and families. I create a safe, trusting, and affirming environment to work through past trauma while processing the current impact and working toward a future without limitations. I have over 15 years of experience working with various concerns, including depression, anxiety, past trauma, spirituality, identity development, grief, and loss, to name a few. I pursued a degree in counseling to make sense of my own traumatic experiences; I know what is necessary for healing to occur. Hurt happens in a relationship; healing has to happen in a relationship - Wynsome McLean.
During our first session, we will get to know each other and discuss your presenting concerns in more depth, create treatment goals, and begin creating a treatment plan that meets your therapy goals.
I work with individuals, couples, and families- to address the impact and heal from a history of adverse experiences, trauma, attachment concerns, and current-day stressors. I am trained and comfortable working with an array of spiritual beliefs, intersecting identities, and racial trauma. I also support individuals with navigating the next steps needed for future planning regarding career advancement and entrepreneurship.
