There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t.” — John Green I have worked in the field of social work for over ten years, driven by a passion that began while supporting adolescents in a clinical day school setting. That early experience solidified my commitment to furthering my education and pursuing a career in social work.

This diverse background has allowed me to develop a flexible, client-centered approach tailored to individuals’ unique needs.
