I work alongside all my clients, collaboratively, developing goals that matter to them. I have an extensive background in community mental health and have helped individuals cope with symptoms related to their chronic mental illness, substance use disorders, anxiety and depression. I also have years of experience working with Autistic children and young adults. In addition, I absolutely love helping couples and families work on improving their communication!
