BACKGROUND

My specialty is working with men who are coping with trauma, especially veterans, formerly incarcerated individuals, and officers. I’ve been working in the therapy/social work field for over 6 years. Most recently, I provided mental health treatment to incarcerated folks at the Monroe Correctional Complex. During this work, I also volunteered on the CISM (Critical Incident Stress Management) Team, now known as the Response Stress Team (RST). While on this team, I worked alongside fellow correctional staff members, mostly officers, to provide peer support after traumatic incidents. Before that, I helped unhoused veterans find housing and other resources through the VASH program and interned at the municipal mental health court in Seattle. I enjoy helping my clients meet their goals of strengthening their relationships and coping with stress.

I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Washington # LW61420042.
