Summary

I have many years of experience working with both adults and kids in all different settings. I am very passionate about helping others and find importance in building relationships/rapport with them. In the time I have been a mental health practitioner/care coordinator, I have assisted in providing education through groups revolving around clients mental health diagnosis and/or substance use, as well as coping skills and things that go along with them. I have implemented individualized treatment plans and goals for them to work to achieve, as well as prepare them for getting back on their own/in their community and find housing placement as needed.
