I believe that the path to healing involves diving into the depths of my inner self, understanding, and embracing the core aspects of who I am. I see this journey of self-discovery as the catalyst for true healing. By unraveling personal narratives and exploring the roots of what shapes us, I guide clients in shifting their perspectives, helping them embark on a transformative journey toward wellness.
With extensive experience in mental health and crisis intervention, I have witnessed the profound impact of a trauma-informed approach, which now lies at the heart of my social work practice. My dedication to a holistic approach considers every facet of an individual’s well-being—physical, emotional, mental, and social—ensuring that I deliver comprehensive, effective care that addresses all dimensions of health.
