I have over ten years of experience with direct client care, including working in crisis response and in agency settings attending to issues of domestic violence, sexual assault, family homelessness, substance abuse, grief and loss, and immigration related concerns. My clinical training includes art therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, maternal mental health, substance use disorders, somatic regulation strategies, and mindfulness techniques.
