LCSW, 8 years of experience
Welcome and thank you for taking a bold first step toward your wellness and recovery journey. My goal is the prevention and reduction of risk factors for emotional and behavioral problems and the promotion of mental health wellness. Utilizing evidence-based practices, I will work with you to help you learn to manage your difficult emotions and develop tools that work for you. I believe once something becomes shareable, it becomes more bearable. I have experience working with diverse populations including children and families, adolescents, homeless, veterans, survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, addiction, co-occurring disorders, personality disorders, and life challenges.
Building rapport and gathering needed information to get a better idea of what you are looking for/expecting to get from therapy.
I have extensive experience working with survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault as well as veterans from all eras.
Anyone willing to do the work needed to grow and heal.
