I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, with experience in the social services field for over 10 years. My passion is working with people to help them grow, reach their potential, set healthy boundaries with others, and know their worth. I enjoy working with men and women. I believe that there are times in life when a little extra help and support can be tremendous, and a therapeutic relationship can truly make a difference in a person’s life during those times. In regard to scheduling, I tend to schedule my meetings with people directly as I have limited availability. Additionally, I require video sessions to meet with clients that I am working with. Please be prepared to meet by video, be stationary, and in a private location. I don't complete sessions while people are driving or with others around to protect privacy and reduce the possibility of a distracted driver incident.
