Meaning behind the Lotus
The Lotus is rooted in mud and born from the swamp
Though it remains resilient to its surrounding environment
It will dip into darkness and bloom the next morning untouched by the dirt
Holding no residue, the petals gleam
Healing and growth are possible no matter the depth of our darkness.
The lotus flower mirrors the trauma survivor’s recovery journey and reminds us that healing and growth are possible no matter the depth of the darkness of our past. If given the right support and environment, the survivor once trapped in dark isolation, can thrive and rise.

As a Clinician, my approach to therapy is personalized to the individual needs of the client by using client-centered and strength-based strategies with trauma informed care. I come from a diverse professional background with experience in mental health, trauma, domestic violence, and sexual assault. Having worked with diverse clientele, I developed a greater understanding of cultural differences.
I am passionate about helping clients finding ways to overcome difficulties, heal wounds, cultivate new possibilities and re-connect with their insight. We will set treatment goals and develop a plan together to address them in collaboration. In addition, I am reachable via phone or video-conference appointments through secure mediums.
