Work HistoryI have over ten years of experience working with adults with mental health concerns, including co-occurring mental health and addiction, in both inpatient crisis and outpatient therapy settings. I specialize in trauma-informed care that helps clients understand how past experiences influence current thought patterns, emotions, and behaviors, supporting greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, and healthier coping strategies.
