I am an independiently licensed clinical social worker. I have worked in community-based, residential, and private practice settings with clients from diverse populations, across the lifespan, seeking care for mental health and substance abuse diagnoses for 38 years. The focus of my therapeutic approach is to enhance the mental, emotional, and social well-being of clients through evidence-based and culturally informed services.
