I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been in the social work field for over 20 years. I will provide you with education and ideas as to how you can improve your mental health. What you do with that information outside of our sessions determines your success!
From infants to the elderly, my experience covers the entire lifespan. I enjoy the one-on-one interaction with my clients and strive to provide them with the ability to improve their mental health. Your therapeutic experience should be both educational and enjoyable. Your time in therapy can be interactive and inviting. My goal is to provide you with education and understanding of your mental health diagnosis. I will bring empathy and accountability to the table. If you want to hear more than "I understand...that must have been hard..." then I am your person.
