LCSW, 30 years of experience
I'm a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) licensed to serve in South Carolina and Tennessee. I earned my MSW from Barry University and I have been practicing for 25 years. I view my career choice as my vocation as well and I believe in a whole health approach, examining and improving on all areas of self. All areas of self are important and connected, and with my help, you can achieve a healthy balance within yourself.
