Hello
Life experiences of trauma, loss and grief can sometimes feel overwhelming; but they also offer an opportunity to explore the root causes of what is affecting us. Embracing difficult emotions can foster resilience and wellness. As trauma expert Bessel van der Kolk reminds us. "Trauma is not just an event that took place sometime in the past; it is also the imprint left by that experience on mind, brain and body." Van der Kolk, B. (2015). The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma.
My Story
My personal and professional experiences of working with others are underscored by my early family experiences of serving my community to my fullest extent. I learned early how the healthcare system can sometimes be overwhelming and intimidating for those seeking support. These early experiences inspired my passion for working with youth and families. As a child and youth worker, I learned of the tremendous pressures placed on children and their families and the importance of collaborative community support. Pursuing undergraduate and graduate studies, I have been driven by a desire to explore the intersection of trauma, health, and resiliency. My personal and professional journey has allowed me to fully embrace the complexities of life experiences, equipping me to better support individuals through a trauma-informed lens. My ultimate goal is to help foster growth and healing for the people I serve.
