About

Greetings and thank you for taking the time to check out my counselor profile.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 11 years of services that began when I went back to college and was experiencing issues with co-parenting. I used a strengths-based cognitive behavior approach (thoughts lead to actions) that I learned in social work school and applied it to my own life circumstances. I believe that my personal experience in addition to education have worked together to help me become a better counselor; i.e., a master listener and empathizer.
Over the years, my clients have included children, adolescents, couples and families in addition to formerly incarcerated individuals who are re-integrating into family life and work. I also have experience with the child welfare system which can be helpful to families attempting to navigate through family maintenance and reunification. I have worked extensively with grandparents and extended family members (kinship) who are struggling to cope with new childcare responsibilities when children have been removed from their biological parents’ custody.
People who experience depression, low self-esteem, LGBQ-T related issues, PTSD, ADHD and anger management issues are some of my favorite human beings to work with. Do any of these issues apply to your own life? I am here to help you, but it is important to remember that I cannot “fix” your problems. I will give you some tools (coping skills) to help you help yourself. Are you ready to change your feelings and emotions that are controlling you? Let’s work together to put a mentally healthier and emotionally stable YOU back in control!
