Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with eight years of service in the Army Reserve. I have worked as a licensed professional for two years and have over 15 years of experience in the field of social work. My specialty includes PTSD, depression, anxiety, and interpersonal traumas. Initially, I planned to work with women, and while I am very competent in this area, I have since mainly worked with male veterans adjusting to civilian life.

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

In our first session, we’ll begin with brief introductions and then delve into the specific challenges you are facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in future sessions.

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

Having worked with individuals who have experienced severe trauma over the last 5-7 years, I have developed a proven approach to help you: (a) identify the root causes which have kept you stuck in life and (b) create a personalized plan that leads to measurable progress.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I work with adult males and females who suffer from symptoms of complex PTSD and diverse issues who are able to apply interventions.
