Shell crisis hotline, Omni behavioral health, Clinica Sierra Vista, Kaiser, Mental Health Systems, Scotts Youth facility, Psychiatric Wellness Center, and Friese Hope House. I have held titles which include mental/behavioral health therapist, program coordinator, supervisor, shift coordinator, assessment coordinator, and head of service. As a provider I believe in knowledge and truth as path to achieving a mentally healthy self. I currently own my own private practice in which I practice as a Christian therapist. I enjoy helping clients gain clarity of thought and seeing life through scriptural lenses as the basis of truth.

I have experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, communication, and relationships. As a Christian therapist I believe in a holistic approach to treatment and focus on the physical, spiritual, and emotional needs of a client.
I specialize in utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Techniques, Dialectical Behavior Techniques, Narrative techniques to identify problematic thoughts and language which leads to alternative moods and alternative behaviors.
