I am motivated by the possibility of assisting other to help themselves through evidence-based methods. I am passionate about building rapport with clients and offering a comfortable and productive therapeutic relationship.
I have spent much of my time in the field of social work practicing psychotherapy with adolescents prior to the last three years. In that period, I have been conducting assessments and coordinating admissions to alcohol and chemical treatment programs.
I have a passion for learning about the effects of trauma and the ways to improve and heal from those difficulties.
I have written works on meditation, self-help for women, vulnerability, anger, several other topics, and a children’s book.
