Great to meet you!

With over 26 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise in mental health, substance use, and co-occurring disorders, serving clients of all ages. My comprehensive background allows me to understand the complexities of these issues and offer tailored support to meet individual needs.

I am certified in both SASSI and AASI, which enables me to conduct thorough substance evaluations and sexual interest assessments.

As a Vietnam Era Veteran, I am particularly passionate about supporting fellow veterans and individuals facing significant hurdles in their lives. I believe in fostering resilience, dignity, and transformative growth, helping clients navigate their journeys towards healing and fulfillment.

My academic work, including a thesis published by Clark Atlanta University on the subjective experience of auditory hallucinations in African American Alcohol Dependent clients has provided me with unique insights that I apply to better serve this population in need.

I am dedicated to creating a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, work through difficulties, and achieve your personal goals. Together, we can embark on a path towards lasting positive change.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and grounded in evidence-driven practices, empowering clients to harness their strengths and overcome challenges.

What you can expect from me

It is my desire to introduce an experience of connection, hope, clarity, relief, clarity, an empowerment in each an every session.
