I have ten years of experience in mental health coaching, medical social work, community case management, and school social work.

In this role, I provided psychotherapy to clients with anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, eating disorders, PTSD, history of trauma, dissociation, and abusive relationships. As a medical social worker, I provided solution-focused brief therapy for adults struggling with their mental health and chemical dependency.
