I believe that change is possible for anyone, especially for those seeking treatment. It is a strength to ask for help. And I believe that before entering treatment, clients are doing the best they can but, for lack of resources, find themselves missing out. A critical starting point in treatment is to listen, carefully, to a client’s story - what the client identifies as pressing concerns and what they hope to get out of treatment. From there, we begin the journey. My aim is to partner with ...

I have had experience working in a variety of settings including inpatient mental health units, psychiatric crisis teams, mobile teams, emergency room-based, and private practice.

Our collaborative partnership will focus on getting to the root of the problem, meeting you where you are at but also challenging ...
