I work with adults who are struggling with PTSD/trauma, Borderline Personality Disorder, ADHD, and several other mental health disorders to navigate life's daily challenges, and interpersonal relationships and to find healing and growth.

From the beginning of my career, I have worked with children and families on helping to improve functioning in the home. The children I have worked with have had issues coping with multiple stressors, difficulties managing their thoughts and feelings and the behaviors that came with that were things that they wanted to change.

I also like to work with people of any age to support with life transitions and self discovery.
