Since that time, I ran my own practice from home, worked on line with many telehelp clients, and worked a year at an Air Force Base.

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in the state of Florida, and earned my Master’s in Social Work for Florida Atlantic University. I have been working with children and adolescents in the fields of mental and behavioral health for 10 years. My experience includes working in school, home, and virtual settings. I started working in the mental health field, because I have a desire to help people. In school, I was placed in a school-based internship, and this taught me to appreciate the perspective that children bring. I feel that it is important to create a comfortable therapeutic environment for clients. Our sessions are a space for them to feel free to express themselves, and also work on becoming the best versions of themselves.
