My Approach to Helping
I am a licensed clinical social worker in Alabama, Virginia, Georgia, the District of Columbia, and Maryland. My experience includes clinical social work, risk management, regulatory compliance, quality assurance, case management, crisis intervention, advocacy, brokerage, education, and facilitation working with diverse groups of children, adolescents, and adults in medical social work, child welfare, mental health and chemical dependency, corrections, HIV/AIDS, and Veterans Affairs. While working with these clients, I have acquired the necessary clinical skills relevant to culturally diverse practice and effective outcomes. I am a well-organized, highly motivated, and energetic team player dedicated to meeting my clients where they are through both micro and macro-level social work interventions. Working in mental health for over 12 years, I've learned that people are trying to put the pieces of their lives together just to make it through the day. Being sensitive to this, I've developed my practice model around the following quote, "We're only as strong as our weakest link; therefore, do your best to strengthen someone today!" My goal every day is to strengthen someone (self-included) in some area. Let's live in purpose so we can win on purpose!
