“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”

Maya Angelou.

At Wounds to Wonder, we believe healing is possible—even after life’s most painful experiences. Whether you're navigating the aftermath of trauma, grief, medical challenges, or life transitions, this is a place where your story is heard, your pain is honored, and your journey from wounds to standing in wonder begins.

The deep wounds of unprocessed trauma, unseen losses, personal grief, and unexpected complex acute or chronic medical disorders are life-changing events full of unbearable pain. Trauma survivors, medical professionals, first responders, caregivers, and family members of those with chronic illnesses often carry the trauma bound to their profession or life circumstances.  The outcome is often marred by anger, confusion, apathy, denial, feelings of helplessness or hopelessness, relentless worry, emptiness, loneliness, and isolation, a relentless cascade of emotions. With time, you may not even recognize yourself! I would love to meet you where you are and walk with you until you find yourself again.

I am a licensed professional counselor with an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPC-A), specializing in trauma recovery, grief, life transitions, and the emotional impact of medical emergencies on individuals and their families. I am trained, certified, and experienced in applying evidence-based approaches to address unprocessed trauma and related conditions. I am a Certified Trauma Professional and Certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy, an evidence-based form of psychotherapy that addresses unprocessed trauma, resulting in the restoration of hope. I have a person-centered approach to therapy with knowledge and skills in various therapeutic modalities.

In addition, I have experience conducting bariatric assessments and bring 21 years of previous experience as a medical professional. I am particularly interested in assisting those trying to pick up the pieces left behind by loss, grief, and trauma. I am a permanent student of life and would consider it a privilege to hear your story.
