I was working as a summer camp counselor when I realized that trying to help someone change their life for the better is basically impossible unless you look at all the different things that are making their life difficult. No one sets out to have hardships. No one sets out looking to struggle personally, educationally or financially. The school of hard knocks doesn't come with an elective in coping skills for all that life seems to throw at us.
I became a therapist because I genuinely wanted to help people. I feel connected to those who are struggling and something in me is pulled towards helping them feel better. My first summer as a camp counselor I learned that wanting to help people feel better and being able to make a change in their lives are two very different things. So I set out to get the best training I could to find out how to actually help people experience lasting life improvement.
It led me to the field of Marriage and Family Therapy, which sounds like all I do is work with couples.

People often think that trauma is only physical or sexual abuse.
However, Trauma is so much more than that, and much more common than people think.
Many people experience trauma and then struggle to function or complete everyday tasks because these traumas have been unresolved.
Sometimes people aren't even aware that they are nervous, anxious, stressed, or sad because of any trauma.
Regardless of the trauma you've experienced, it generally effects your daily functioning and relationships.
Unresolved trauma can contribute to mental health disorders, anxiety, stress, and depression.
