I have been practicing as a social worker since 2018. I have had the good fortune to work for several types of agencies during that time and have experience with severe, persistent mental illness as a result of my time working for an inpatient psychiatric unit as well as experience working as a therapist in community mental health. I am currently working with adults aged 18 and up. I have been successfully treating first responders, military personnel, and survivors of domestic violence and child abuse. I have specialized training in EMDR treatment and certification for personality disorder treatment. I utilize a very directive approach to treatment and encourage the client to guide their treatment so it is a joint process where they can feel empowered.
