She has worked for several years in clinics, inpatient, outpatient and prison settings. She is experienced in working with many challenges including Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Substance Use and Trauma to name a few.

She believes in an individualized approach to counseling, tailoring her methods to best meet the needs of the client with whom she is working.
