| Introduction | I have has several passions in life, one of which is to see families heal from the effects of trauma and abuse. I want to ensure a brighter future for children and families affected by past traumas. Throughout my career, I have counseled many families and victims who suffered from some type of traumatic event in their life. My career quickly took a turn when violence struck our home in 2003. I witnessed firsthand how domestic violence can have devastating effects on victims and can ultimately destroy families. By going through the painful steps of healing from the abuse me and my mother suffered; through training and workshop facilitation, I can now help other individuals heal and recover from abuse. I am also passionate about helping clinicians provide effective counseling techniques such as ideology, impact and treatment approaches to children and victims of domestic violence. It is my desire to see the whole family heal, that lead to my latest achievement of developing and implementing a nonprofit in Atlanta Georgia to help victims of abuse. |
