My Personal Beliefs and Interests I am a silver lining while still feeling all the emotions type of person. I have struggled with ADHD my whole life and was not officially diagnosed until I was 40. As a descendent of intergenerational trauma, I started my adult life with the plan to do better for my children- in the process. I had to work hard to heal myself. Through that healing, I became a foster and adoptive parent, a social worker, a candidate for state office, a pastor, a therapist, and a reiki practitioner. I am a proud ADHDer, a survivor of trauma, and a healer. I believe that we are all capable of incredible change and are more resilient than we know. My practice is trauma-informed, solution-focused, humanistic, and supportive. I don't have all the answers, but I am willing to partner with you while you find your answers.
