Hi! Thank you for reviewing my profile. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker who provides psychotherapy services to adolescents and adults. I have 25+ years of experience working with people facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, identity issues, grief/bereavement, LGBTQ issues, parenting issues and combinations thereof. I see people as competent, resilient and strong; they may just need some space and skills to tap their potential. I would welcome a call to see if I may be a good fit for you.
