About Us

As a retuning scholar I entered the field of social work as a seasoned individual who continues to utilize current clinical practice and life/lived experiences to support the populations that I serve. My primary expertise is in domestic violence, childhood and adult trauma, loss and grief, anger management, and solution focused therapy. During my 20+ years as an LCSW my goal has been to provide strength’s based, holistic, trauma informed care to people seeking support with their mental, emotional, spiritual, social, and physical well-being. I welcome members of all races, ethnicities, family structures and economic backgrounds. , My clients have consisted of teen mothers, individuals who have witnessed, experienced, or perpetrated violence & abuse in their intimate partner relationships or in their families of origin, and trauma survivors who have suffered with negative health implications due to community violence, stress, oppression, racism, and/or other life circumstances. , Professionally and clinically speaking, I like what I do, I value what I do, and I respect what I do. As such, I am especially sensitive to the needs of any individual who seeks my support and entrusts their mental health and wellness into my care. My pledge is to be welcoming, respectful, non-judgmental, and professional in all of our interactions
