A Career at the Forefront of Mental Health

With over two decades of hands-on experience, I've navigated the frontline/operational realms of both criminal justice and mental health systems. Since 2022, my journey has evolved into private practice, offering specialized assistance to individuals, couples, families, and teens. Together, we tackle a spectrum of challenges, from identity and depression to addictions and self-compassion.
