I believe all individuals have the inner strength to successfully navigate the various challenges life can throw their way. I am a Clinical Social Worker, who finds it rewarding to work with adults to develop personal insight into their emotions, thoughts and behaviors, and to learn practical coping skills that will assist them in managing difficult emotions. I also specialize in the treatment of trauma. I am confident in my abilities to provide accurate psychiatric evaluation for both mental health and substance use disorders in a non-judgmental, person centered, and cultural sensitive manner.
