Work History
My passion for mental health began in 2013 when I worked in a hospital running therapeutic art groups. From there my career branched into working with diverse communities in various settings including residential facilities, elementary and middle schools, foster care and adoption services, and community-based work. I was previously a Clinical Director for a residential facility for teens, as well as a supervisor for an eating disorder and substance use team.
​
I have many years of experience working to support children, adolescents, transitional-age youth, parents, families, and adults with complex traumas and co-occurring mental health conditions.
​
