I am a dedicated and compassionate licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years experience. I have an undertanding of psychological disorders and the impact they can have on the individual's, families and communities. My unique perspective comes from experiences on a personal level with addiction and recovery. Drawing from evidenced based therapeutic approaches, I tailor my interventions to suit the individual needs of my clients.

My initial consultation went well. Merry was very professional and thorough. She answered all my questions and shared her therapeutic approach. She seems to have a lot of experience. I look forward to working with her.
