About

I have a passion for understanding, improving and delivering quality mental health care over my life span and professionally for over 10 years. I hold interest in helping individuals and groups – specifically college age, adult and geriatric populations increase ability to decrease depressive symptoms, anxiety and dealing with innumerable types life transitions. I have worked in several hospitals in different cities and states at the varying levels of care for mood, substance and personality disorders ( IOP, PHP, Inpatient mental health,Dementia substance abuse and residential). I have a specific interest in the increased mental health education while using cultural humility in practice with African American clients but am open to all people from all walks of life. Since the pandemic I have also expanded my interest in helping adolescents navigate the post-pandemic world.
