I have experience working with a diverse population of clients including children, teens and adults, focusing on a variety of mental health needs including trauma, substance use, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety and more. I am passionate about taking an integrative approach using CBT, Solution Focused, Motivational Interviewing and trauma-informed, experiential and person-centered techniques to EMPOWER clients with a personalized and collaborative approach to assist in reaching goals.
