Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical social work , earning my Masters Degree at the Springfield School of Social Work. I have dedicated over 20 plus years of service to the field of Social working with Child and Adolescents, Young Adult, Military, LGBTQ as well as the Geriatric populations.

My approach to therapy

My work with patients are based on the establishment of a therapeutic alliance and self awareness gained through psychoeducation. This is the foundation in which a therapeutic journey can begin. This can also help patients identify strategies needed to build a life lone therapeutic tool box for improving their overall quality of life.

What you can expect from me

increased self awareness and the psychoeducation needed to help them identify therapy goals and implement therapeutic objectives that will help them to achieve treatment goals.
