About me
Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker
I have been a practicing social worker for 25 years and have an array of experience in this field. I have been in private practice for 6 years and am currently doing tele therapy only. I work with clients above the age of 13 for individual therapy, as well as couples and family counseling. I spent several years working with Hospice where I complete the Thanatology program from the University of Alabama. This is the study of death and dying. I have experience in group and individual therapy for those dealing with loss, or complicated grief. I received personalized training to help those who may have experienced the trauma of a suicide death. In addition to grief therapy I also specialize in anxiety, depression, adjustment issues to different life circumstances, and marital counseling.
