Although short, I have endured many challenges in my lifetime so far, and I hope that I can help clients go through their challenges and see the light shining through their darkness, and assist clients through the darkness to have the ability to adapt and step into the other side. I am passionate about imparting strength and empowerment to others, specifically through social work and counseling for those struggling with eating disorders, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), complex PTSD, and other dissociative disorders. I have struggled with an eating disorder for years. I have managed to receive treatment for my eating disorder and recently, I celebrated my third anniversary of my eating disorder recovery. It is a bittersweet day. Recovery is not easy, but neither is an eating disorder affecting your brain and body. I learned a lot from my therapists in treatment and after I left as well. I believe that I will be an effective eating disorder specialist due to my own well-managed eating disorder. I also believe that I have a lot of helpful ideas from when I was in treatment that could potentially be extremely helpful for my own future clients.
