About me

I have experience working with those who have Mental Health issues as well as Substance Use Disorders and have worked with military personnel, those living with HIV/AIDS, the incarcerated, and in Private Practice.

It took a few different sessions with other therapists before I was matched with Trina and honestly I am so glad I found someone who I think is really helpful/insightful in the way that she is. She really is a great therapist who cares about her clients needs
