Work History
I have worked in various settings including residential, inpatient, and private practice. These experiences have allowed me to work with a diverse range of clients, including disadvantaged and underserved groups. I understand how a person's life circumstances can impact their mental health and self image. I approach all clients with compassion and genuine interest. My work focuses on validating experiences, identifying strengths, and building resilience. Being faced with adverse experiences does not have to prevent someone from building the life they deserve.
