Clinical Services

I have extensive experience in the treatment of individuals who have sustained emotional wounds from traumatic experiences.  My clinical experience includes the treatment of symptoms resulting from the following traumatic experiences: Sexual abuse, physical abuse, domestic violence, death, emotional abuse, family separation, neglect, human trafficking, bullying, religious trauma, racial trauma, etc.

Many people may not have even considered themselves to be a survivor of trauma. One thing that I have learned is that nearly all mental health symptoms can be connected to some sort of adverse circumstance. Often people who are depressed come to realize that their depression can be attributed to a fundamental belief resulting from a painful childhood experience. People who are anxious can come to find that their fear is rooted in some old wound. 

Even if you don't consider yourself to be a trauma survivor, I think it is critically important to understand how history is showing up in your day to day life and how making meaning of your history can lead to healing. 

One of my greatest passions is working with people who are experiencing the difficulties associated with transitioning from youth to adulthood. Youth and young adults are faced with an unprecedented amount of stressors in their daily lives and are exposed to a host of risk factors that arrest their transitioning into adulthood. As it were, many of the symptoms encountered in this season of life result from problematic coping mechanisms used to adjust to the stressors of growing up. 

My work has taught me that growing up is difficult for everyone, no matter what your background might be. For this reason, a significant portion of my clinical experience has involved helping youth and young adults learn to overcome the challenges of growing up and achieve a sense of competency in their ability to build a better life for themselves.
