My expertise lies in the areas of working with individuals with severe and persistent mental illness (may be transitioning from acute psychiatric hospitalization), substance abuse, Depression, Anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and at-risk youth. I have a proven track record in working with individuals with Depression (suicidal ideation and or attempts), Anxiety as well as Severe and Persistent Mental Illness. I am committed to working with individuals within these populations, primarily because many have a high level of acuity, which demands an intense services and treatment due to the need of various levels of social and health supports.
