As an individual who has survived a number of adversities, I feel that my strength and understanding allow for greater compassion to my practice and the services that I am able to provide. Providing support to people has always been my first career choice. I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years of experience working as a social service provider. I have worked with clients and families in a wide range of circumstances, including foster care placement, substance abuse challenges, survivors of domestic violence, formerly incarcerated young adults, and homelessness. I have met a number of individuals who I have been able to support while they experienced strong feelings and challenges related to depression, anxiety, relationships, parenting, career, OCD, and many other areas. I also supported many individuals and families who have experienced different forms of trauma.
