Great to meet you!

Hello all!

I am a 52-year-old woman with 24 years of experience in the field of social work and specializing in the following areas: Marital counseling, and PTSD trauma therapy as well. I am a warm and kind person, based not just on my own strength but the strength of God. I am eager to meet you and/or yours as a family or couple or 1on1. I also work extensively with substance abusers and sexually abused victims including incest survivors. I am an honest person by nature and am eager to receive feedback from clients with a 4.0 GPA master's degree and am a licensed clinical social worker. Please don't hesitate to contact me and schedule your initial psychotherapy at HEADWAY!

My approach to therapy

I work hard and am kind and eager to meet you and/or yours as soon as possible. I work with an array of unwell people with specialization in grief therapy as well. Please visit Headway schedule an appointment.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to meet an authentic welcoming environment. Also, a therapist who is warm and friendly. Initially, my focus will be on building rapport and trust for the client and not dive quickly into deeply distressing trauma histories until the client trusts me. Lastly, clients should expect to feel positive and more hopeful because I am a very skilled and intuitive therapist with 24 years experience now as an LCSW in practice.
