"My passion for working with trauma survivors and studying trauma in general, is rooted in a deep desire to understand and alleviate the profound impact that traumatic experiences can have on individuals. This began due to personal experience with veterans and military service members in my own family who experienced mental health issues following trauma exposure. I am driven by a commitment to helping people navigate the complex aftermath of trauma, fostering resilience, and promoting healing. Exploring the intricacies of trauma also helps me understand more about the human mind and the potential for transformative growth in the face of adversity."
