- I work with trauma because I am a survivor of complex trauma.
- I work with addiction because it has ripped its way through my family system. I have seen hope firsthand and I want to share that with you, too.
- I work with grief because I have experienced pain that is so, so deep, and I know how it feels to adjust after loss.
