Identifying unprocessed trauma is crucial in treating common to severe mental health issues. Trauma runs on a spectrum from minor to major events and is specific to the person who experienced it. Trauma can be contagious and impact those around us. Everyone experiences adversity in their lifetime.

​

I have practiced with individuals in their schools, homes, through community mental health agencies, group settings, juvenile detention centers, homeless shelters, online and through private practice. My assessment, case management and treatment planning/implementation skills will help you get the most out of each session.
