I believe healing is both personal and collective. My therapy style is grounded in trauma-informed care and shaped by both professional expertise and lived experience. I approach every client with empathy, cultural sensitivity, and advocacy, helping them reclaim their power and move forward with confidence.

Therapeutic Modalities Include:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Managing thoughts, behaviors, and emotional responses.

Trauma-Focused Therapy – Healing from past experiences in a safe, guided process.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
A trauma-focused therapy that helps individuals process distressing memories, reduce emotional reactivity, and restore a sense of calm and control. EMDR supports healing from trauma, abuse, grief, and other painful experiences—helping clients rebuild resilience, strengthen relationships, and move forward with renewed confidence and hope.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)
A compassionate, evidence-based approach that helps individuals explore and heal the different “parts” of themselves that hold pain, fear, or protective roles. Through IFS, clients learn to connect with their inner Self—cultivating self-compassion, balance, and emotional harmony. This process supports recovery from trauma, improves relationships, and fosters lasting personal growth

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) – Building emotional regulation and stress management tools.

Strength-Based and Client-Centered Approaches – Highlighting resilience and empowering growth.

Christian Counseling (Available Upon Request) – Integrating faith-based principles with therapeutic techniques for emotional and spiritual healing.
