About Me
I am a licensed clinical social worker in private practice working with adults. I use tele-therapy which offers accessibility, convenience, and flexibility. It has proven to be highly effective in treating trauma. Previously I worked in a multi disciplinary health center providing counseling and supervising a team of social workers. I have extensive experience working with people with disabilities and worked as a social work supervisor in a skilled nursing facility.
