Profile Headshot

Overview

I am a Doctor of Social Work licensed as a Clinical Social Worker in Nevada, providing outpatient mental health services to adolescents and parents/families since 2008. I received comprehensive training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy in 2011 to orient to evidence-based interventions that reduce suicidality and self-injurious behavior. I continue to gain knowledge about evidence-based treatment for adolescents who struggle with finding the motivation to continue living and who experience challenges in utilizing behaviors to refrain from engaging in self-harm. I am an expert on the issues that affect children, adults, and their families.
