I have worked in various settings with clients, and my experience includes forensic social work, hospital social work and case management, coping with chronic conditions, and complex diseases. I have helped clients with stress and anxiety, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & depression. I also have experience working with coping with life changes. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
