Professional Interests / Specialties:

I am very passionate about working with adolescents.  I also have experience working with children and families. Areas of clinical focus include those of trauma informed care, crisis care, insight oriented therapy, strength-based therapy, amongst other treatment modalities. It is important to me that therapy is patient focused and patient driven; I strive to employ whatever therapeutic modalities are in tandem with patient’s needs and treatment goals.

Spoken Languages:

English

Philosophy of Care:

I feel so blessed and like it is the highest honor to be able to walk alongside of the students at GUHS.  My philosophy of care is genuine, person-centered, strength-based, and empathetic support that results in students feeling empowered. It is my highest aim that students leave their sessions feeling seen, known, valued, and cared about, knowing that both them and their story matter.

What I love about working at SNAHC:

I love that I have the privilege of serving the students at GUHS on the school campus, providing access to therapy to teenagers who may not otherwise be able to access services due to barriers in their life’s circumstances. I also love and appreciate the diversity and the relationships that are and have been formed through the partnership of SNAHC, Neighborhood Wellness Foundation, and Grant Union High School.
