Specialties
Each person is unique, so it’s important your specific needs are met as you move through the healing journey. Below are the areas I am most skilled in as a mental health counselor.
-
Trauma and PTSD
Complex trauma or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is typically a result of experiencing life’s more challenging situations. Usually, after a difficult incident, a person may continue to feel psychologically impacted days or even years after experiencing a trauma. It is my passion to help those experiencing complex trauma/ PTSD find healing to regain aspects of life that have felt difficult or even tainted due to what someone has endured. No matter the cause, the impact of trauma can cause an array of new challenges, but with your willingness to seek healing, you can begin to restore aspects of yourself and life to live the life you want.

Young Adults and Coming of Age
At times the support you may need may solely be related to the phase of life you are in, such as transitioning into college, entering the working sphere, or growing into your authentic self. I greatly enjoy working with those who need a bit of a helping hand while they navigate life’s transitions. Together, we can help you gain the skills you need to manage the phase of life you are experiencing.

Integration of Faith
At Healing Gardens Counseling Center, the faith and spirituality of all clients are respected. I have experience working with an array of spiritualities and cultural backgrounds. I specifically have worked most closely with those who are interested in integrating the Christian faith into their counseling journey. The manner in which spirituality is integrated is based upon each individual client and their preferences.
If this is something you are specifically interested in for your counseling journey, please let me know so I can provide further information on what the integration process looks like.
