Hi, Thank you for exploring me as an option for improved wellness. I have been living and providing treatment to individuals in rural Arizona for over 15 years and have worked several years abroad in the Philippines. I choose to engage people in mental health and substance abuse services because I see myself as a support to the them. I get to work where my clients is at – see their strengths and skills they have and assist to work through or strengthen them to be their best self. Thus far, I have had wonderful career experiences as a mental health provider and substance abuse treatment provider. I have had the opportunity to work in a wide range of socio-cultural settings: community mental health, federal agencies, tribal communities, international agencies. I enjoy the following treatment modalities: solution focused, motivational interviewing, dialectical behavioral therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. I have had the incredible opportunity to work with individuals, couples and families. I I have worked with range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, education/career challenges/life transitions, grief and loss. Being part of my clients journey is a role I feel passionate about. I feel honored in this role to assist clients working through challenges, meeting their goals and celebrating their successes. I look forward to meeting with you!
