I work to empower adults to bring peace and stability to their lives, while managing strong emotions and living wholeheartedly. I am experienced in the treatment of depression, anxiety and other difficulties with mood; relationship/family issues; trauma; substance use and recovery; and the unique issues faced by women, including physical and sexual health, as well as prevention and access to resources. I have been active in the field of social work for 5 years, with an additional 3 years of training. I have experience with psychiatric healthcare systems, legal & guardianship issues, and community resources.
