With 10 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, I find it immensely rewarding to collaborate with individuals in crafting strategies to tackle present obstacles and manage life's pressures. My background is rich with diverse interactions, having worked with individuals and veterans experiencing homelessness, as well as children, teens, adults, and families. At the heart of my practice lies a culturally competent, strengths-based methodology. My practice experience covers a range of presenting concerns, including trauma, depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, as well as co-occurring disorders. I hold a certification as an Alcohol & Drug Counselor working with individuals in an outpatient setting, as well as early intervention. In addition, it is a privilege to work as a Certified First Responder Counselor, assisting first responders and their families dealing with job-related stress. I utilize trauma-informed, evidence-based strategies and psychoeducation in the treatment process. Should you be in search of a provider who prioritizes relationships, offers empathetic, holistic, and educational approaches, and bases their work on evidence-backed methods, I might be a good fit! I'm eager to connect and consider a potential partnership with you.
