About

Hello and thank you for taking the time to stop and look at my profile. If you are looking for a compassionate and non-judgmental person to assist you through your journey I would be happy to assist you. I have over 15 years of experience in the mental health field. I graduated with a Bachelor's of Psychology from Hood College and obtained my Master's of Social Work at the University of Maryland, Baltimore Campus. I have worked in a variety of settings including but not limited to; outpatient treatment, hospitals, mobile crisis, the criminal justice system, schools, and adult residential settings.

I believe that everyone, at some point in their life, needs a little assistance getting through tough times. I offer a listening ear with the knowledge that the benefits from therapy grow from a good foundation and solid rapport between the client and the therapist. I believe that it is important to let the client chose what to focus on, and while I will guide the client, I am not a therapist who will give the client answers but let them come to their own conclusions. I borrow strategies from a variety of therapeutic modalities including cognitive behavioral, solution focused, mindfulness, and relational therapy.
