I am the owner of Forward Counseling & Consultation and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Substance Abuse Specialty and an Independent Clinical Supervisor with over 23 years of experience. I have an unique background working with interpersonal violence, mental health, trauma and substance use, which allows me to nurture a safe and trusting environment while empowering individuals to realize their full potential and reach their personal goals. I believe in treating the “whole person” which includes addressing their spiritual, physical, and social needs.
