Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I graduated from the University of Tennessee Knoxville in 2006. I have been in the mental health field for over 20 years. I have been an LCSW for the past 10 years. I have experience in treating trauma, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and depression. Currently, I also work at the Memphis VA Hospital in the ER as a mental health assessor.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session you can expect to tell your story. We will also work together to develop a treatment plan and make a decision on a timeframe to address your concerns. We will also set goals that are realistic, achievable, and in alignment with your desired outcomes.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a provider my greatest strengths are my empathy, knowledge of treatment models and theories, and my experience in the mental health field.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I have engaged in therapy with clients who primarily have trauma, anxiety, and/or depression. I have many years of experience providing trauma focused therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy.
