Work HistoryBefore becoming a therapist, I spent many years working in operations and administrative roles. While the environments varied, one thing stayed consistent—people were struggling, often silently, under the weight of stress, trauma, and unmet emotional needs. After my own experience of burnout and loss during the pandemic, I decided to return to what had always mattered most to me: helping people heal. In my current role as a counselor, I work primarily with adults who are navigating the impact of childhood trauma, complex relational patterns, and religious trauma. Much of my work focuses on helping clients untangle painful early experiences—especially those involving emotional neglect, attachment wounds, or spiritual harm—and begin to build safer, more connected relationships with themselves and others. I’ve facilitated a support group specifically for individuals recovering from religious trauma, where we explored themes like shame, fear, belonging, and identity. Whether in groups or one-on-one sessions, I take a trauma-informed, relational approach that honors each person’s unique story and pace. I draw from evidence-based practices like parts work, DBT, and trauma-informed CBT, and I integrate those tools with warmth, presence, and curiosity. I’m especially attuned to clients who have felt dismissed, silenced, or “too much” in past relationships or settings—including therapy. My goal is to create a space that feels safe enough for the real work to happen.
