Clinician
I have ten years of experience as a Social Worker, working with clients who have experienced extreme cases of abuse and neglect, family separation, addiction, domestic violence, pre-natal drug exposure, poverty and mental health issues. I have seen clients gain relief from oppression, while experiencing healing mentally, emotionally and physically. I have also seen families get free from addiction, reunite and able to communicate to one another in a healthy manner. My experience comes from working at a Child Welfare Agency and practicing therapy in school settings. I have worked with children, adolescents and adults, processing with them, pain and disappointment, leading them to a place of overcoming and helping them find the truth about their identity. I also equip my clients with goal oriented lifelong coping skills. I believe self-growth and healing is a lifelong journey and each day is a fresh beginning. I have a passion to see people whole and set free from whatever ails them. I practice a strength based, non-judgmental approach and believe building rapport and trust is key in order for therapy to be successful. I provide therapeutic services integrated with Christian beliefs and values.
