Summary

Compassionate, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed domestic violence counselor who supports individuals impacted by intimate partner violence. Through graduate study in counseling, I hope to develop the clinical knowledge and practical skills necessary to provide effective mental health services, crisis intervention, and emotional support to survivors. My goal is to empower individuals by helping them recognize their strengths, regain a sense of safety and independence, and move toward healthier and more fulfilling lives. I also hope to contribute to greater awareness of domestic violence and advocate for accessible resources and services for survivors and their families.
