My goal is to work on eliminating the stigma associated with Mental Health and Addiction that would lead to embracing treatment and recovery. I use a person-centered approach, holistic, multicultural, motivational Interviewing, and integrative approach in treatment. This means I meet clients where they are, and work collaboratively to accomplish identified goals and skills needed for success.

I have experience working the following settings residential, outpatient, in-home, community based and hospitals and virtual settings.
