Let me introduce myself, I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker with 20 years of experience. I have had a diverse professional career in which I have been challenged many times. This aided in my growth as a professional. After having many years in outpatient counseling. I decided to open a outpatient mental health clinic. I was also a director of inpatient substance abuse treatment center. My passion for people lead me to hospice care, which in turn, it served to enhance my perspective on life. I use many different counseling modalities which include cognitive behavioral strategies, strength based, and client centered. My goal as a therapist is to listen, enhance ones self-esteem, offer new coping skills and aid in problem solving.
