Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LCSW, CADC
Schizophrenia is a complex mental health condition that requires a compassionate and holistic approach. In my therapeutic practice, I prioritize patient understanding and acceptance, recognizing the unique challenges that come with this illness.
My approach involves guiding individuals towards mindfulness, helping them navigate their thoughts, emotions, and experiences with heightened awareness and self-compassion. I understand that the impact of schizophrenia can extend beyond the illness itself, often causing trauma and emotional distress. Through our therapeutic relationship, I aim to create a safe space where healing can take place, addressing both the challenges of the illness and the trauma it may have caused.
My commitment is to support individuals in their journey towards acceptance, self-discovery, and healing. By combining mindfulness techniques with trauma-informed care, we work together to empower individuals to regain a sense of agency and well-being. Through this collaborative process, my goal is to help individuals thrive despite the challenges of schizophrenia and find a path towards personal growth and emotional resilience.

Losing touch with reality is more complicated than just trying to realign oneself with the external environment. To understand this experience, one must work to appreciate the subjective realities that illuminate these challenges.
