I focus on a mind/body approach and strive to understand what is behind the challenges clients are facing. I utilize a variety of modalities and approaches, and use a trauma informed lens
EXPERIENCE
I have experience working with individuals, families of all backgrounds and couples. I have had the privilege of supporting youth and families involved in the juvenile justice system both in their homes, in the office and in a correctional facility. I was certified in evidence based approaches including (MST, MDFT, MTFC and am certified in Trauma Informed Care.

I have skills working with adults, transgender, juveniles, foster care youth and their families, girls involved in sex trafficking, running away and homelessness, substance use and criminal lifestyle, gender identity issues, sexuality, family dynamics and mental health concerns of all types. .I am trained in EMDR and strive to connect past issues with current problems to ensure that negative patterns are broken.
