Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in the state of Florida since 2003. Previously, I was licensed in Illinois. I attended the University of Chicago for my BA and Loyola University of Chicago for my MSW. I have worked in multiple settings, including healthcare, the Veterans Administration, adoption, and general outpatient mental health and relationships. I provide a non-judgmental, supportive environment for clients to address their issues.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our initial sessions, we will focus on what to expect from therapy, what you want to work on, and your background. I will give you an opportunity to ask whatever questions you have about the process or about my qualifications and experience beyond what is in my bio.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have been in the field for over 30 years and have experience with multiple types of clients. I have raised biological children, adopted children, stepchildren, children with ADHD and also have an adult daughter with major special needs. I am accepting of everyone, regardless of race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, and background.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with clients experiencing life transitions, chronic illness, and family issues. I help guide them to find solutions to whatever issues they are facing. My clients find me easy to talk to and compassionate.
