My expertise, foundation, and passion for work has been developed in a congregate care setting while treating a variety of diagnoses combined with cognitively limited, developmentally delayed patients stepping down from extensive periods of psychiatric hospitalization in need for stabilization. Clinically, I have significant experience working with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), psychotic disorders, mood disorders, anxiety, depression, intellectual disabilities, PTSD, trauma, and much more.
My viewpoint and practice clinically, is based upon building on a client’s strengths, understanding barriers in the way of their goals, identifying maladaptive thought patterns, utilizing problem-solving techniques, and developing self-care skills to improve their overall functioning. I have experience facilitating family, couples, and group therapies.
I am dedicated to helping others experience whatever it is that they are going through, while stopping to remind them how open they can be to improvements that will lead to a better quality of life with work and commitment to themselves.
