I help people navigate through the trauma they have experienced with racial trauma and pinpoint the triggers that come along with it. I teach people the difference in explicit and implicit memories and how they manifest with trauma and oppression and how they can start to become aware of the triggers.

I help people become aware of the different types of anxiety and go through the cognitive distortions and how they take over the thinking. I use CBT and mindfulness tool to help the person get to a better place as well as grounding tool and calm safe place. I teach the person how to question the anxiety in a way that helps them figure out the facts of the moment versus what their brain is telling them.

I help the client to understand and identify the stages of grief and where they are in the process. I help the client work through questions about death and how not to suppress the feelings that come with grief in order to wear a mask of being strong. I also help people to not get stuck in the stages of anger and depression while maneuvering through. I teach people the difference in good grieve and avoidance of grief.

I help people set attainable goals and process how to problem solve and reach the set goals. I use positive psychology to help encourage the person through the process of working toward the solution versus focusing only on the problem. I collaborate with the person and they are able to explain how finding the solution to the problem will cause their life to change.

I have attended trainings and become a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I work with people who have experienced all types of trauma and before virtual therapy only, I used EMDR to help people with working through the trauma the had experienced.

I help people to process their thoughts and how their thoughts may lead to actions and behaviors they don't like. I help the person to break down the thoughts and process wear the thoughts or cognitive beliefs came from. I help people learn skills to help with cognitive distortions and tools to put them in a more mindful state before processing the thoughts they are having.
