Holistic Trauma Therapy - Virtual and In-Person in Ohio
A bit about me…
Background.
I was born in New Orleans, grew up in a suburb just outside the city, and received my education there. I obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Psychology from the University of New Orleans and a Master of Social Work from Tulane University. I have been a licensed practitioner in the state of Ohio since 2000. Throughout my career I have held various roles, including direct service provider, supervisor, department/program director, and therapist.
I support clients in addressing challenges rooted in trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, and the lingering effects of overwhelming life experiences. I help clients heal from the past, regulate their nervous system, deepen emotional awareness, and reconnect with a sense of safety, resilience, and wholeness in both body and mind.
