I am a Licensed Master Social Worker with a background in both social services and client advocacy. My experience spans over 25 years in federal service, combined with training and practice in mental health, trauma, and family support. I bring compassion, strong clinical skills, and practical problem-solving to every client I work with. During my training and internships, I conducted psychosocial assessments, developed intervention plans, and supported families navigating mental health concerns, housing instability, and trauma. I have worked with children, adults, and families in both shelter and community settings, always striving to meet clients where they are and help them move toward stability and growth. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where clients feel respected and understood. I believe in empowering individuals and families by building on their strengths, connecting them with resources, and helping them find the tools they need to move forward with confidence.
