‘A speaker raises a glass of water and asks the audience, “How heavy do you think this glass of water is?” His answer: “It depends on how long you hold it. It is the exact same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier.”’ Occasionally, we have to set our burdens down so that we are able to recharge and prepare ourselves to continue moving forward. I am deeply committed to providing pathways to support and to create the best environment possible for clients.
I have a Master’s Degree and Licensure in Social Work, with 7 years of professional experience working with 3- to 18-year-olds. During this time, I have provided support to youth with behavioral, emotional, developmental, intellectual, and physical struggles and their families. I continued work with adolescent trauma and am a certified forensic interviewer.
I strive to create a safe space for adults and adolescents to feel heard and seen, all while providing needed support to allow clients to build on their strengths and become the best version of themselves.
