I am well versed in group therapy and utilize evidenced based curriculums. I work effectively with clients who suffer with symptoms of depression, anxiety, mood disorders, PTSD and other mental health issues.
I have experience with working with adolescence, adults, the elderly and Veterans. I help clients see that change is possible.
