I am a fully Licensed and Independently practicing Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who has 20 years of clinical mental health experience across settings and demographics. I have worked in outpatient, inpatient (including forensic and civil commitment), case management, residential, hospitals and jails. My focus has been primarily with adult populations but in the past 9 years I have begun to find a joy in helping youth. I have worked most recently as a designated crisis responder (DCR) for 8 years, the latter 5 of which were as the lead/supervisor for the Crisis Department in my home county. I believe that all clients have the resources to resolve their own problems, they just might need the added support in identifying and utilizing those resources to find the healing they need.
