About Me
As a licensed clinical social worker I believe in inclusivity and equality to all and advocate for all my clients to have this experience in their lives. My earliest experiences as a social worker were spent in the child welfare field before transitioning full time as a mental health therapist in 2013. I find that my experiences in these two social work fields has helped me create a compassionate and accepting therapeutic approach for all my clients.
Education & Experience
I graduated with my Bachelor's of Social Work in 2009 and my Master's of Social Work in 2013 from Kutztown University of Pennsylvania.
