My experience has led to a wide range of familiarity with various populations. The majority of my expertise is with common issues faced by adolescent clients including self-harm, suicidal ideation, substance use, family conflicts, and transitions in life development. Typically I like to meet weekly for at least a month, then re-evaluate to maintain effective treatment.
