I have worked in community mental health since 2012. I have a lot of experience working with most disorders in the DSM-5. I have worked with clients that have anxiety disorders, ADHD, PTSD, depression, mood disorders, personality disorders, schizophrenia, and other disorders. My ideal client is anyone that wants to make a change in their life and is willing to do the work it takes to achieve their goals. I work with clients to do a comprehensive assessment where I supply a diagnosis or diagnoses. From there treatment begins. I use a wide array of treatments. My main mode of therapy is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I have also taken several additional continuing education credits for working with the LGBTQ+ population, specifically transgender clients. I have significant experience in diagnosing, treatment planning, and crisis planning/management.
I have significant experience in working with clients with severe mental health problems and those that are in crisis. I also work with people who are highly suicidal and self-harm. I am a very determined therapist and am willing to do anything I can to help my clients as long as they are willing to help themselves. I encourage clients to work hard.
