As a clinician, I find purpose in guiding clients along their path to self-actualization. It is my professional and personal belief that everyone is deserving of a life of enlightenment and empowerment. Through my work, I have assisted clients in the process of identifying individual strengths and limitations, as an essential foundation to the development of one’s true self. In my practice, I incorporate a combination of empirically based techniques and eclectic therapeutic modalities tailored to the specific needs of her clients.
Over the course of my tenure, I have provided mental health treatment to children, adolescents, and adults at the inpatient and outpatient levels of care. I have several years of clinical experience with adult and juvenile forensic populations, during which time I developed and co-facilitated a Dialectical-behavioral Therapy (DBT) group, with a pet-therapy component. I am also experienced in providing individual and group counseling to individuals with a history of sexually offensive behavior(s).
I have worked with active duty and military veterans, diagnosed with PTSD, to include providing support and psychoeducation to spouses, children, and other family members.
Substance abuse counseling is another are of clinical experience. I have facilitated co-ed and gender-specific groups at the inpatient and outpatient levels of care, as well as having worked with couples and families seeking to identify and improve generational patterns of substance abuse.
In my work with families, I have specialized experience working with children and adolescents diagnosed with ADHD and ASD throughout the process of reunification with biological family members, long-term foster care placement, and/or adoption.
Outside of my formal education, training, and experience, I have a true desire to help individuals become the best versions of themselves, and to take the necessary steps toward enhancing their quality of life.
