In what ways have your personal experiences influenced your work with your clients?
I was raised by a single mother and am the youngest of four living daughters. My childhood was filled with love and closeness of family however I also experienced the trauma of grieving the sudden loss of a close relative. The gift that I have received from my continuous grieving journey is being able to recognize the beauty of the lives around me and be empathetic to the pain and invisible wounds of others.
If there was one thing you wish people knew about the therapy experience who might be hesitant to try it, what would that be?
The therapy experience is a unique experience that is life changing. It is for many people the first time where they are able to discuss whatever is on their mind and focus fully on theirselves speaking outwardly while looking inwardly.
How has your particular field of specialization evolved in recent years and how has that impacted your work?
I have the belief that the therapist client relationship is a unique relationship that embodies trust and rapport building. I believe that my ideal client gravitates towards me naturally and over the years I have found a pattern of those who have childhood wounds and unresolved traumas as the population that I serve the most. I have become trained in both EMDR and Brainspotting which are both trauma modalities to provide better interventions when treating trauma.
