Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I have worked in the social services field for two decades. I received his master of science in social work in 2012 from The University of Texas at Arlington and completed his doctor of social work in 2023 from The University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
Professional Background
I have specialized training in complex developmental trauma and attachment, treating mental health needs of autistic persons, and working with children, teens, and young adults. During my time as a social worker and a therapist, I have provided services in multiple settings including community mental health, private practice, residential treatment, and pediatric hospitals. My other areas of practice include program development, teaching professional development and continuing education courses, and providing clinical licensure supervision.
View on Therapy
Over the years, I have been asked many times why I became a therapist and there have been a number of answers I have given. But one of them has always remained the same: I know what it is like to be hurting and not know what to do or who to turn to. My goal is to provide a space where your concerns can be worked on safely and openly.
