For the past several years, I have been treating individuals with mental health disorders, including: depression, anxiety, trauma, post-partum depression, ADHD/ADD, intermittent explosive disorder, social phobia and panic disorders. I have also worked with people who struggle with alcohol or drug use issues. This is an area of specialty for me.

I used motivational interviewing techniques for substance use disorders. I have helped many of my clients to develop healthy and life changing coping skills.
