I have been practicing as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2013. My passion is helping clients with life's transitions while navigating common challenges that come with making difficult decisions or much-needed changes. We all go through difficult times while managing our busy lives, and sometimes we need a little help while going through these changes and making them as smooth as possible.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I always start my sessions with giving a brief overview of my background and experience. I then go over a few minor housekeeping items to help set the tone, which usually encourages questions from clients on how I can help them with a specific issue they have been dealing with.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have been told by my clients that they appreciate my calm and patient approach. My goal is to make my client feel comfortable and ensure that we are an appropriate fit. I worked many years with young children and teens, so I have been blessed to have acquired a strong skillset in managing difficult behaviors with children of all ages. While working with these children, I often met with their parents, foster/adoptive parents, grandparents, and other relatives. This was the beginning of my joy working with adults, which made the transition to working with adults very easy. I also bring a medical background to my current practice, which has provided me with the tools to help my clients navigate the healthcare system.
