LCSW, 3 years of experience
New to Grow
Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Pennsylvania. I obtained my masters from Edinboro University in Social Work around 2017 and have been working in the social services field ever since. About 3 years ago, I began working in the private practice field. I am grateful to be able to help individuals overcome their struggles and work on a positive future!

As a provider, i often am able to challenge others and help gather a fresh perspective. I am open minded and easy to communicate with.
During my time being a social worker, I have developed a range of experience and knowledge about community resources, intimate partner violence, mental health, and advocacy for those with physical limitations. I have worked with individuals experiencing adhd, trauma, gender dysphoria, depression, anxiety, grief, c-ptsd, and autism spectrum disorder. I have experience working with children, teens, adults, and the geriatric population.
