Her clinical work includes specialized care for people with severe and persistent mental illness diagnoses such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and personality disorders, as well as crisis intervention services.

She has received training in dialectical behavior therapy and trauma-informed methods, and she centers accessibility and multicultural awareness in her practice.
