I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have worked with a broad range of clients in the community, as well as a psychiatric inpatient setting. I have provided counseling services for teens, individuals with addiction issues, women with abuse history, and individuals in the geriatric population.
I am a caring, compassionate individual that values the unique qualities of everyone I meet, and work to assist them in identifying their special strengths and assets.
I understand the courage it takes to reach out and ask for help from someone they have not met, and work to make this process comfortable and safe
