In addition to personal life experience, I've worked professionally as a Therapeutic Staff Support for three years. During that time, I spent extensive time working with a 13-year-old girl diagnosed with Aspergers. Today, she is 18 and just received her driver's license! Currently I work with adults struggling with mental health and addiction issues. I am highly focused on strength based, positive reinforcement problem solving and interventions. I believe strongly in creative care, as well as providing consistency and boundaries.
