Great to meet you!

My experience includes clinical social work, case management, crisis intervention, advocacy, brokerage, education, and facilitation working with diverse groups of children, adolescents, and adults in medical social work, child welfare, mental health/chemical dependency, corrections, HIV/AIDS, and Veteran Affairs. While working with these clients, I have acquired necessary clinical skills relevant to culturally diverse practice and effective outcomes.

Scheduling Notice: If needed, and there are no upcoming available appointments within the current week listed, please message me directly to discuss availability.

My approach to therapy

Working in Mental Health for over 12 years, I've learned that people are literally trying to put the pieces of their life together just to make it through the day. Being sensitive to this, I've developed my practice model around the following quote, "We're only as strong as our weakest link; therefore do your best to strengthen someone today!"

What you can expect from me

My goal every day is to strengthen someone (self-included) in some area. Let's Live in Purpose so we can Win on Purpose!
