I am an experienced Clinical Social Worker with a demonstrated history of working in the non-profit organization industry with children, adolescents, and young adults. Majority of my mid-career has been working with unhoused families in shelter and providing clinical support and consultation to social services staff, non-clinical administrators, and incoming MSW/LMSW’s.

I approach my work from a psychodynamic lens & use a trauma informed model in how I work with clients.
