About
I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Kentucky with 18 years of professional clinical experience. I have extensive experience and expertise in working with children, adolescents, young adults and adults on a number of different specialty areas, including medical stress, life adjustments, trauma, goal planning, life transitions, relationship issues, stress management, anxiety, codependency issues, blended family issues, multicultural issues, personality disorders, self-esteem issues, substance abuse issues, sexual dysfunction issues and depression. I obtained my master’s degree in social work from Spalding University and has since worked with thousands of individuals, couples, and groups. I am specially trained in dialectical behavior therapy and eye movement desensitization reprocessing therapy. I am a board-certified clinical social worker who has done research and completed scholarly peer review journal articles on substance abuse, child welfare legal representation, foster youth in post-secondary education and mobile app services for the child welfare system. I am currently an adjunct faculty member in social work at Utica College. I have extensive experience in training and teaching social work students. I am trained in solution focused therapy and my goal is to reduce mental health stigma and providing high quality treatment in the mental health field. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, relationship issues, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
