I spent 11 years working with individuals who have the disease of addiction and all that comes with that lifestyle which includes and not limited to homelessness, legal issues, mental health disorders, trauma, gang affiliation, grief and loss, self esteem, cultural diversity, military and family problems. Working on the betterhelp plateform for the four years has given the experience of cultural diversity, coaching, mental health, life developments and goals and crises which include personal and natural disasters. The populations I serve are females, males, couples, veterans and the LGBTQ-A I + community. I also believe in and work with the holistic approach as I am a Reiki Master and have experience with Reiki Sessions, crystals, and alternative healing. As a therapist it is my mission to assist you in achieving your goals in a safe, trusting, nonjudgmental, and respectful manner. I utilize a person centered concept, motivational interviewing, pros and cons therapy, mindfulness and narrative therapy so each individual can achieve their goals of a more satisfying life.

She believes that empowering other organizations to provide care extends the available resources needed by so many. Drawn to the marginalized in our society, Min.
