Wellness supports a quality life by encompassing a healthy body, a sound mind and a tranquil spirit.
I have vast experience gained throughout my social work career that consist of residential care settings, refugee, foster care, behavioral health case management, home-based, senior services, support coordination, and program management. I have worked with very diverse populations, from youth to older adults, in my roles.
My passion for mental health and wellness consists of the demystifying stigma associated with mental health, symptom management, healthy living, and resiliency. I believe in the whole person’s treatment, so I enjoy collaborating with additional professionals to provide the most optimal treatment and recovery for individuals receiving support from me.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been trained in diverse treatment modalities that include psychotherapy, trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy - suicide prevention. I use several skills and client collaboration to tailor treatment. As a certified Youth Mental Health First Aid trainer, I love providing community training, psychoeducation, harm reduction methods, safety planning, family collaboration, and Social-Emotional Learning skills training for overall wellness. I have used my skills to provide treatment for specialty populations that include LGBTQ, Trauma, Anxiety, BIPOC, Co-Occurring, and Problem Sexual Behavior.
I currently provide the following services: Telehealth, individual, couples and family therapy. As well as clinical supervision and training, and consultations,
