Trauma informed, warm, open and affirming. Most experience with young (er) adult, children and adolescent.
I look forward to meeting you. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist. Most of my years of experience is working with adolescent, transitional age adults and children, however I am willing to work with other populations if the fit 'feels' right. I provide a free 15-minute consultation to see if this may be case. My style is open, warm and inquisitive. I am trained in multiple modalities but like to make sure I am doing what best helps the individual. I hope that I become a part of your journey.
